Details
A magnificent route in the heart of the complex glacier system directly beneath the Cordier Couloir, which is one of the ascent routes for the Aiguille Verte.
There are numerous crevasses in this sector, often difficult to spot.
Moreover, the descent is exposed to serac-fall from the Aiguille Verte.
This is a dangerous route which should only be undertaken after heavy snowfall, and preferably after recent serac-fall.
Good visibility is essential as is glacier travel gear.
