Route
Nice route in a mountain environment, up granite marked by plenty of knobs. The bolts are fairly run-out at times, though never dangerously so, and a small trad rack is recommended for additional protection.
Getting there
From Courmayeur drive into Val Ferret and park the car after the houses at Tronchey, directly beneath the Pra Sec glacier.
Access
Walk up the detritus gully to the first rocks on the right, towards the Jacchia bivouac, then follow a vague track and some yellow markers to reach a short in-situ rope. Ascend this to reach the wide cleft at the base of the obvious rock face (1:40 hours). Itinerary
P1: 6a
P2: 5a
P3: 6c / 7a A0
P4: 6a+
P5: 6b
P6: 4b Descent
Abseil down the route. 50m ropes. Gear
10 mm bolts. Take a set of camming devices up to Camalot #3 for additional pro.
