| Blue sky, -5 degrees Celsius with 15 cm of fresh snow made it rather slippery and difficult. My friend who summited 5 times before said it was the most difficult time so far and luckily we had a 30 min rope with us to save the day. Wonderful views and highly recommended even though steep at times. | |

| A very enjoyable moderate scramble. A few loose rocks but definitely bulletproof compare the the Canadian Rockies. No need for a rope unless with inexperienced scramblers. | |

| Andino | Traverse : Chimneys of Sallanche (up) > Normal route (down) Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2006 | |
| Quite a long day, but very nice ascent : From car park (Col des Annes) to Gramusset hut (400m walk - easy hiking) From Gramusset hut to Col des Verts (400m walk - steep part in scree, at the end) From Col des Verts to the top (200m climb - very easy with 3 parts in grade II/III). Harnesses and a 10-15m rope is enough if you climb with un experimented person. You will find you're way through very easily : On the hiking part, follow red marks, on the climbing part, follow yellow/green marks (from Col des Verts follow yellow arrows indicating "P.P" (standing for Pointe Percée). We manage to see the Mont-Blanc before it got trapped in the fog. On top you have a beautiful view (when the sky is clear) on Aravis, Mont-Blanc, Bornes etc...) The descent is quite tiring from the summit back to the hut. A lot of "stairs". 2 hours ! Then another hour to walk back to the car park. Note that : > You can alternatively start walking from La Clusaz rather Col des Annes. Add another 2 hours. > Abseiling might be possible in the route you climbed from Col des Verts, as they are 3 or 4 rings sealed on the rock. 50m long I would say | |
