Paroi Noire: at first glance this face looks completely smooth, but as you get closer it surprises you with a series of weathered pockets and crimps, often difficult to see even close up! First ascended in 1941 by M. Forestier and H. Joubard, this climb is bolt protected and starts circa halfway along the face.
