Description
A moderate, well protected route up good rock that provides access to the final lengths of the popular Petit Charmoz traverse.
P1. Start at a nice flake leading to a hand crack after which tend right into a groove
P2. Follow the groove to the base of a headwall
P3. Surmount headwall and traverse hard left on an easy ramp to the base of a steep corner system
P4-6. Continue up corner system to eventually arrive at crest
P6+. Traverse the crest to arrive at the final headwall to the summit...the original pitch of which has been destroyed by rockfall. Most opt to descend from here now
