Chciałem uzupełnić informacje o drogach wrysowanych na zdjęciu, których bardzo brakowało mi na zdjęciu przedstawionym łącznie z informacją o polskiej drodze.
"Coulée Douce" (Delmas/Perroux, 1985, D, 60°,400m) . Probably the easiest route of the face, and a good way to start climbing the Hirondelles ridge from France.
“Little MacIntyre” (MacIntyre/Rhodes/Todd, 1976, TD, IV/4+, 600m). The “other” MacIntyre route on the face, steep and surprisingly difficult. Some party consider it better than the Shroud – and it’s safer too.
“Le Linceuil” - (The Shroud) (Flematti/Desmaison, 1968, TD+, IV/4, 750m to the Hirondelles ridge, 1100 to the Walker). Opened in 10 days of continuous climbing (plus 3 of preparation) by an extremely talented duo, it was one of the last great alpine ice routes before the curved tools revolution. When the “piolet traction” techniques were established, the Linceuil's status was steeply (and unjustly) diminished. Still very hard – and dangerous. Most repeater use the direct start put up in 1963 Berardini and Paragot.
The E (Hirondelles ) ridge. Linking the Col Des Hirondelles 3480 m (so called because the team who first reached the col found here several swallows) with the Pt. Walker, 750 m. high, and dividing the Freboudze glacier from the immense Leschaux basin, this ridge makes an almost perfect arc that’s very visible from the Leschaux hut. The quality of the rock varies, being quite good on the lower section and rather poor in the upper part.
