Approach # 20min

From the Tré la Tête refuge, initially follow the path to the Conscrits hut. Leave this to the N (several possible faint paths) and climb the grassy mound coming down from the Grande Roche (2100m). Go up N to the foot of the face, (vague path,) above a mass of boulders. The route starts at some nice slabs of green rock.
