Approach

From the parking at La Frasse, take the track towards the Armancette lake, then climb the true right bank of the Armancette cwm. The icefall is the one clearly visible from below and is immediately to the right to the “Ligne principale” which you do not see until the last moment. Just before the foot of the icefall you have to cross a large avalanche chute.
