It's one of the most crowded walls in Valle d'Aosta. Why is it so? The routes are fine, both technical and requiring strenght, the gneiss is superb, indented so typical of the area and least but not last there is a large green area at the base where you can fare sicura lying in the sun while your friend is panting climbing on a roof...

Access
Along the road Aosta-Courmayeur drive to Leverogne. Once there turn left into Valgrisenche and drive along it to the small village of La Bethaz. Past the village, about 1km, park your car on the left near a snowshed. The wall is towering above.

Climate
It's 1700 m. on sea level therefore climb from may to september. It's sunny in the morning.

Rock and Equipment
Fine solid gneiss indented with notches and cracks which makes the routes continuos. The equipment is good with not recently laid spits.

Difficulty
From 6b to 7c. This wall is good for climbers who love number 7.
