| South-East Face to the summit, including a very enjoyable dihedral slab and the final 6A pitch (I had to be hoisted up by our guide Eric). The traverse & descent were very pleasant scrambles. | |

| Attempted to climb the S-summit via the South Arete - 5c max. Due to a number of unforeseen delays we went much more slowly than expected and found ourselves 3/4th the way up the mountain at 7:30 PM. We decided to take the safest option and rappel down rather than continue on and attempt to return via the Traversee des Crochues. It turned out this was sketchier than anticipated due to rockfall and the rope getting stuck and it took us much of the night to finish our rappel. | |

| mountaindog | Route Climbed: Traversed from Unpublished Route just left of the Tour de Crochures Date Climbed: August 2005 | |
| Traversed the summit of this peak after taking 6 pitches (5b/c) up a spur to the left of the Tour de Crochures - no one else on the route until we ran into those coming from the col. About 400m of nice climbing on good rock. | |

| il.rocciatore | Route Climbed: East Face + Traverse Date Climbed: july 2005 | |
| Climbed the East Face of Petite Crochue, which has some very nice passages, but which has also a harder pitch on the end. Continued with the traverse to the Col des Dards and descent to the Lac Blanc. | |

| noah | Route Climbed: no particular route Date Climbed: summer 2003 | |
| Bit of a exploratory climb went up the coloir to the col spent a bit of time getting a feel for the area. Didn't go far as i was still recovering from a dislocated shoulder. | |

| Traverse (PD, 3c/4) -- June 30, 2001 -- Climbed this route with Francis Kelsey on my first trip to the Alps. It seemed really scary at the time, with lots of exposure and tricky downclimbing in boots. East Face (AD, 4c) -- July 21, 2004 -- Climbed with Philippe Gerschel as our first climb together in Chamonix after two days of rainy weather. It was Philippe's first route in the Alps, which was fitting, since the Traverse was my first route back in 2001. Also with us on this climb was Pete Boddy of the UK, who I met up with before Philippe arrived. It was fun to repeat part of the Traverse as well and laugh at how scared I was 3 years before. | |
