Getting there
Take the A5 motorway and exit at Aosta Ovest. After 900 meters reach a roundabout, take the second exit (SS26) and continue towards Courmayeur. After about 8 km drive through Arvier, then turn left towards Valgrisenche (SR25) before the tunnel. After about 15 km reach Vagrisenche; drive through it towards 'Bonne' to reach 2 hairpin bends. Park in the obvious layby at the second bend. Access
From the car park follow the trail through the forest to reach the base of the crag in just a few minutes. Itinerary
After the first 6b pitch, the climb follows the overhanging 7a+ protected by bolts. Halfway up this break off left into the overhang. The first moves follow powerful underclings and lead to a good jam. Continue to the thin crack that leads steeply past some finger jams to the top of the fin.
