Approach

From the parking area in Vallorcine, head towards the Bérard waterfall. Pass it and follow the stream on the right side until you reach a bridge. To the left before the bridge, follow a path into the thickets and follow it to the foot of the slab. The path can be very wet, consider appropriate shoes. Approach takes 45 minutes.

Ethic inherited from France

Park where indicated, take care of the environment, buy the local guidebook when possible (this is one of the ways you can help local route setters), clean up your shoes before climbing, don't spray beta, be polite.

The last pitch joins up with L'île aux Razmokets, but is rarely done. Instead rappel down after the 7th pitch. Very well protected.
