Description Suggest change

The mixt line to the right of Speedy Gonzales. For a detailed description see the updates on https://www.escaladequebec.com/topos/ and open the most recent one for La Côte Nord Est. 

Here is the way we climbed it, which differs from the first ascents. 

P1 Climb the ice on the right side (WI4+), try not to place screws at the beginning to avoid rope drag. When there is no more ice, clip the bolt, follow the crack system, there is a total of 3 bolts on this crux. Go on or around the pillar. We made a screw anchor a few meters higher, on the very right side, on a small ledge. Around 35m pitch. 

P2 Continue up the ice WI5 for 70m until un perfect ledge. 

P3 Super easy finish for the remaining 50m.
