| After missing the start of Asia (we took the much harder Soho on the right side), we opted for Fraise des Boâtch. After the first 5 lengths we turned around and started to rappel. I still regret we didn't continu to the summit... | |

| An 'adventure' sport route - quite run out and a bit wobbly in places, but great fun | |

| A very nice route and recommend topping out on the summit vice stopping before the final pitches (as many do). The view from the top into the valley behind the Aiguilles Rouges is great. Take care on the final unroped scramble to and from the summit. 3 double rope rappels bring you back down the midway point where you can walk off to the left (over scree). Started on what we thought was Asia (5ish) but it turned out to be Neige de Kilimanjaro (6b). Managed to traverse to the correct route after 3 pitches. Nice slab climbing with a few technical pieces. Easy walk back to the tram. | |

| Totally underestimated how long of a hike/climb this one was. Started out a 5 in the morning and didn’t reach the summit until 10. I don’t know really what route I took but it was a small couloir that had me white knuckling the holds all the way up (that will teach me to go solo). I was sort of scared that I would have to descend this route on the way down. I didn’t realize that there was an easier route on the back side. I think that going down the mountain was the most enjoyable part, glissaded all the way down. I just let myself go on the last 200 ft cause it was all snow. | |
