With only one day available, and spring approaching, Anne and I decided to do a climb that would combine a bit 'of climbing and a bit of sun
foreign companies already in the early morning the temperature was high on the valley floor and the walls were beginning to warm up for our arrival.
The South side of Chamonix has great climbs of medium difficulty at this time can easily be reached on skis. The location
balcony opens to a magnificent view of Mont Blanc.
Index - South Ridge Street and Perroux
development 350m max 5b, spit on the street and stop these Perroux, some old nail and bolt on the crest of South
Usually these streets are lined with summer hiking boots or shoes. We decided to move away from the crowds and find a little more adventure following in the winter conditions.
Access: reached the village of Chamonix follow the road that leads towards Argentiere. Near the exit of the country, at a roundabout, there is an old stone church. The departure of the cable car Flegere is just opposite.
Approach: Take the cable car first and then the chairlift to the Index. From here the wall is close and clearly visible. The way in attacks lowest point of the wall. 10 min.
Descent:
1) winter option: just behind the top side in N there is a stop at the spit (of 8) with maillon. Making the first two from 35 m in NE side (towards the channel) up to a stop in maillon and nails. From here, a double of 50 m can easily be reached in the snowy channel;
2) option summer: From stop to make a spit for two from 60 m to the slopes or terraces. From here you climb to the neck and then down the slope and into a canal debris (watch out for falling rocks).

Material: some friends too small until a Camalot, and 6 referrals for spikes and webbing stops
