Jottnar is a tricky, not obvious line. A blank canvas of corners and grooves leading back up towards the top of the Cosmiques Arete": four pitches with difficulties up to Scottish grade VIII,8. The 60m fourth pitch leads right onto the Cosmiques Arete and was described by Thomas as "mind blowing". Jottnar finishes directly on the viewing platform at the Aiguille Du Midi station.
