The approach hike has great views of the Grésivaudan valley.
|

The first 5.10a pitch. Cruxy cause of the chossey rock! Yikes.
|

Tom unnecessarily hauling all our gear up but still enjoying the
sun and views.
|

So I rochambo'ed myself into doing the other crux pitch half
way up. Great! Nice exposed 6b, with some ... ahem ... piton
pulling here and there ...
|

Who's your daddy?
|

Half way up. Here we had lunch and threw pieces of bread
and cheese (sacrilege!!) down the cliff to see how far the chocards
would dive for them. The answer: all the way down to nearly a
metre from the ground!!! Amazing birds.
|

There were dudes jumping off the summit and flying right next to us. Cool.

Summit.
