This route starts out with crumbly class 4 scrambling from the Grand Aiguille/Lower Aiguille saddle. Eventually the route reaches better rock. Evan and I soloed this peak, but if one were to climb on lead: recommend at least a 60m meter rope, then a single from .5-#4 and nuts would get by. The first ‘pitch’ to a slung pillar looked very difficult to protect.
