one of the summits of the Ailefroide - Pic sans nom - Pelvoux line, straddling the Selé valley and the Glacier Noir.
This route, opened in 1967, is a great line, in a wild, steep and sustained face. A jewel of the Écrins massif !
After 2 short hours of approach from the Sélé refuge, it takes us about 8 hours of ascent by a complex and clever path of pillars, slabs and ledges to reach the summit.
As often in Écrins, the descent is not to be neglected, another 4 hours of tricky roaming to reach the Pelvoux refuge
