Description
This is the last col on the north side of the Argentiere Glacier (before the Aiguille De Triolet) and is a steep and exposed ski line. There is a rock band at half height and the final couloir to the ridge is properly steep. Often only in condition in the spring when the warmer storms come back in and the snow sticks to the ice.
A good fall back option is the Col Des Cristaux to the lookers right.
Ski Grade: 5.2
Slope angle: 45-50°+ for 500m
Height Gain: 1020m
Height of col: 3569m
