Description
This is a worthwhile alternative to the second pitch of Le Petit Arbre. Take the first pitch of that route to the giant ledge. Scoot the belay over about 20' to a nice hand size crack with a large flake just to the left of that crack. Ascend either the crack itself (for the full valued 7) or use the flake on the upper portion (probably somewhere at 6) to a set of bolted anchors. Both of worthwhile, but utilizing only the hand crack is definitely the more aesthetic way of ascending the route.
Location
This route is located on the ledge that marks the start to the second pitch of Le Petit Arbre, just 20' to the left of the finish of Le Petit Arbre.
