The easiest route on the crag. It follows the obvious large corner at the right-hand end of the cliff. It is possible to combine with a further three pitches on the upper tier, reputedly at a similar grade.

### Approach
15 mins. From the hairpin follow the faint path to the right-hand end of the crag. Identify the large corner with a steep right-hand side and a slabby left-hand side. The route starts up a scruffy ramp to a corner topped with a dead tree. There is a bolt without hanger partway up the ramp and a bolt with a hanger at the start of the difficulties. You can either rope up here or lower down at the foot of the ramp.

### Route
| Pitch | Description |
| ----- | ----------- |
| L1,3c,30m | Climb the loose corner, past the dead tree to better rock and the foot of the main corner. 2 bolt belay with an abseil point to the left. |
| L2,5b,35m | Climb the slab then the corner to a belay with an abseil chain. |
| L3,5b,30m | Trend slightly left then up over two overhangs on good holds to an abseil chain. |
| L4,5c,35m | Easy ground then slab climbing followed by steeper but easier climbing. The belay/abseil chain is very low. There is a bolt 5m further back. |

### Descent
Abseil back down the route

Alternatively continue upwards, walking, to two bolts in the rocks above. From here traverse (2b), passing two bolts, for 50m to a two bolt belay. A line of bolts for 3 pitches start from here. It is also possible to continue traversing for another 50m (2b), no bolts, to an abseil point which gets you back down "Calimero" in two abseils (58m + 50m).

Nid des Hirondelles - Caliméro

User

<p>Just above the village of Valgrisenche in the valley of Grisenche.</p> <h2>Details</h2> <p><strong>Access</strong>: From Courmayeur drive through Morgex on the national road towards Aosta and just after Avise but before Arvier, turn off up the Valgrisenche road which you follow for 16Km to the village of Valgrisenche. Drive through the village and on the road to Bonne, park in a little layby just beyond the second hairpin. This hairpin used to have parking possibilities but in September 2012 was in the process of being rebuilt.</p> <p><strong>Approach</strong> 10 to 15 mins</p> <p>Walk back down towards the hairpin. A first path leads of up past some metal protection barriers to the left hand end of the cliff e.g Calimero. A second path starts from the hairpin and leads to the right hand end of the cliff e.g. Formica</p> <p><strong>Remarks</strong> The cliff faces East and is in two tiers. the lower tier has about 13 routes of typically 3 pitches while the upper tier has two lines of 3 pitches. To the right of the cliff, on the other side of a torrent is the via ferrata &#8220;Becca de l&#8217;Aouille&#8221;, 1350m long, D.</p>
