Route

L'isola che non c’è was first ascended ground-up over a period of 5 days in the cleanest style possible, i.e. with very few bolts along the pitches, a handful of insitu pegs where the rock accepts them. All the rest needs protecting with Friends (bring small ones)

I recommend you’re on form because the climbing is runout and the difficulties obligatory.

A retreat is possible up to the pitch 7 (equipped belays), after which you traverse rightwards and a descent is no longer possible. Another 5 pitches lead to the top.

Descent
Descend by abseiling down the Normal Route on Aiguille Croux, as for the Cheney route. Circa 1/1:30 to reach the Monzino hut.
