A superb and historic route which is one of the great ticks of the area. By French standards it has to be considered a bit soft touch at 7a+ since there are no really hard bits and plenty of modern rests but it still requires steady climbing right to the last moves. Never mind all that just enjoy the climbing and tick it!
FA. M.Griffiths, L.McGinley 6.81. They trained for their ascent using the axle of a train. Visionary stuff since, at the time, the nearest most people got to weight training was lifting a pint glass.
