Nice summit relatively easy to reach in four pitches. Good beginner's climb. Equipped belay stations.
- The route starts scrambling right in the middle of the needle and exits to the right with a technical move, protected with a rock tunnel.
- The second pitch climbs along the couloir/chimney that can be spotted from the belay station. Beware of the block at the end of the pitch.
- The third pitch is very easy, except for its 4 or 5 last meters (IV) that will lead us to the fork located just behind the needle.
- Finally, the last pitch goes around the needle up to the summit with a technical move at the beginning (IV+). Make sure the rope doesn't get stuck.
