Ascent

We follow the track to the Boet plain, and then start a diagonal ascending climb, where the summer path goes, to the Arcalís plain. We continue up along the river, without crossing the wooden bridge, and follow more or less close to the Coma de l'Orri ravine. Alternatively, we can take some couloir farther south, which shortens the way to this valley.

The Coma de l'Orri is wide and straightforward, we pass where it suits us best and head toward the base of the couloir, which starts as a broad slope, narrowing as we climb. The base of the couloir has two entrances. The one that is directly below the notch where the couloir ends presents a step, while the other, located farther north, is easy and connects with the other just above a rock ledge. In both cases, we follow the main couloir to the col (maximum 45º).

Once at the col, with little snow, it is necessary to overcome a mixed section that is hard to protect, made up of somewhat smooth rock slabs. All in all, it is about 10m, not very steep. Once this passage is overcome, we enter the northeast slope, of moderate incline, but cut off at the base by rock bars. We traverse it toward the east ridge of the summit, where we then progress without difficulty to the highest point.

Descent

On skis, the northwest couloir is more skiable and less exposed.
