| It is sometimes said to be with the walker spur on the grandes jorasses France's most beautiful climb, though much, much easier than the walker spur of course!
Quite long, not too difficult (III, III +), but the most beautiful part is probably the traverse itself between the two main peaks. The view from the ridge is just wonderful, nothing higher on the north side up to mont blanc seen from steep icy slopes, and the south face, nearly vertical, receives a really mediterranean sun...
a wonderful climb! descent quite long if you don't stop in refuge de l'aigle
