A gorgeous route on classic orange and speckled Mont Blanc Granite. Lots of cracks, sharp flakes and dihedrals make this a must-do route. The 5th pitch is the crux and it's rated 6b. There are two parallel cracks that bulge out into an overhang, and you have to try and place protections while you're wrestling to get over the bulge. 

The entire route is breathtaking - with views of Italy and the entire Vallee Blanche area. You can either walk off the top and descend on the Lachenal traverse (shorter and easier) or you can rap down and then hike the 90-120 minutes back to the Aiguille du Midi.
