We climbing the entire ridge, in cold weather which helped to keep the crowds away - loved the exposure, loved the climbing, hated the descend. Highly recommended with beautiful views of Aig Verte so don't forget your camera!
Missed the last cable car :( Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2008
Went up the ridge one couloir before the official route. This alternative start is properly bolted but more difficult and a bigger chance of your rope geting stuck which can cost a lot time. The big dihedral was both scarry and magnificant to lead. Of course followed by the splendid razor's edge. Did not climb the chapelle itself because we wanted to catch the last cable car ride which we missed. Definitly comming back one day to climb the chapelle itself.
The first pitch starts slippery. After that nice climbing with of course the famous razors edge. Just below the chapelle the rock is loose and difficult to protect. We didn't feel like climbing the chapelle itself.
