A very fine route up a vertical, very compact wall of slab character

Approach

From Oberi Bire or Oberberg follow the path that runs along the chain north-east or south-west respectively.

At a small gravel pit, go up the scree to the foot of the face and follow it along to find the routes.

The start is just right of "Aéroplane blindé"

Route

L17cVery technical and sustained through the middle third. An exceptional pitch!
L27cApart from the very beginning and the last three metres, very technical and thin, with awkward footwork on a vertical slab.
L37cA technical, harsh traverse at the start. Then very steep, still on delicate footholds.

Descent

In 3 abseils of about 35 m.

Remarks

  • A magnificent sector on fine, compact, steep rock.
