Description
The route follows a series of Gneiss gendarmes to the top of the ridge near the Col de Brevent.
Pitch 1 (5.9): Climb up thin face moves before moving to the left onto slabbier terrain.
Pitch 2 (5.7): Straightforward climbing to the next relay.
Pitch 3 (5.7): This excellent pitch starts with enjoyable stemming in a corner system before passing behind (and up) a small gendarme. From the gendarme step out over space to another larger gendarme and belay on top.

Rappel: From the top of R3, rappel 10m to the bottom of a gully.
Pitch 5 (5.8): An enjoyable pitch. Traverse over grassy ledges and downclimb slightly before setting up a belay at the base of the top gendarme. It is possible to bypass pitch 6 by exiting to the left after this pitch.
Pitch 6 (5.10 or A0): Move up the steep face before belaying from the top.
Pitch 6 Alternate (5.9): Instead of moving up the steep face, move left before pulling one hard move (5.9) and going up a corner to the belay.
Linking: Hike for about one hundred meters to the base of the right gendarme.
Pitch 7 (5.8): Follow interesting face climbing up to the next relay.
