South Ridge

Several interesting sequences, one much more strenuous.

Start below the rock which is just below right from bottom of the vague ridge below the top big roof. Up the right half of the rock, then step left onto the main ridge below the 2-ft-wide tongue on right side of ridge. Next up slab aiming for right side of 14-ft-wide 4.5-ft-high horizontal rock across face. Up over the right side of that rock, then angle left up slab above, and a bit down into left gully. Next up slab to roof which is below left from top big roof.

Avoid that roof by turning right and up right to platform below top big roof. Next walk left under roof and scramble up into groove between 2-ft-wide detached flake and the left wall of the top rock of Aiguille. MId-way up the groove, exit right and up slanting wide crack / steep ramp to finish up to  left side of top rock of Aiguille.

warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber or someone setting up top anchor.

. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2018. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
