Awesome route in a remote out stretch of Wallis!

3 abseils take you from the Bivouac de la Dent Blanche to the Glacier du Grand Cornier.
Traverse to the face and climb up the rock spur (and not the ice to the left), until reaching the big ice field in the middle of the face.
Climb up and leftward towards to the second half.
Exit on the right of the face following a chimney/couloir.

Gear

  • 2×60 m
  • full ice climbing rack
  • cams/nuts useful

Remarks

- le départ de l'itinéraire en ski n'est pas réellement au sommet. Mais un peu en contrebas depuis l'arête E.
