au 21° rugissant (6b) Crumply scramble to the first bolt. Then actually fun athletic moves around the lip. Could be actually a cool line, but bolting is rather strange or just plainly wrong. If you fall before the 3rd bolt (easy, juggy ground) you would hit the deck. Then the upper slabby part is runout (good holds and feet, but not cool if you would be at your limit). Then the last bolt is continuing far right (to a double hole and a good jug). Just to find out the belay is 4m to the left. It should have just been placed in the perfect rock straight up, but hey so you have a fun crimpy and unsecure (at least well protected) traverse to the belay, which felt more like a 7a boulder (but there’s a jug at the end… if you reach it). overall actually nice line, but bolting is 🤦🏻‍♂️

N.N. 7 (6c+) Shares the first two bolts of a 6a. Then traverses left. Don’t fall just before the 5th bolt. Could be a nasty swing (trees or wall of the 6a). Definitely wear a helmet. Top out is actually nice, but easy with simply stupid bolting. Especially the last bolt is positioned to force you int another 6aish move instead of just continue 5cish to the anchor. This last bolt leads to insane ropedrag and kills your rope by forcing it over several sharp edges. Removing the draws in top rope is recommended. And another thing… why are the protection a mixture of non stainless steel departments store bolts and plated hangers with a rusty washer in between mostly positioned at wrong positions (close to edges or fissures). Its not like its limestone thats water permeable and there’s no rain ever in Briançon. 🤷🏻‍♂️

N.N. 4 (6c+) Chossy like hell. From the 5th bolt half of the wall is “supported” by Sika. Also a jug you have to clip on. The belayer should wear a helmet and should be alert. The left 7a exit passes some very fragile rock. I decided against a go.
