Fun climbing on this aesthetic monolith sitting above the town of Argentière in the Chamonix valley.

We climbed two routes. The first was Le Rébuffat-Terray, 5c, 20m the most direct approach to the top.


The second route was Pyrene, 6a+, 24m on the Gendarme sud-ouest just below the Aiguillette. Super fun route.


We’d started late in the day to avoid the crowds and it worked. A typically stunning view of the Chamonix Aiguilles as we descended back down to the valley.
