See link for video of route - tried some of the more obvious searches but seem to be missing something important. Any help appreciated

Pointes d'Ayères

The route is called the Voie Vaucher (Vaucher Route) on the Pointe sud d’Ayeres, which is one of the Aiguilles du Fiz. It’s very near chamonix and if you’ve ever driven down from chamonix to Geneva you’ll probably have seen these crags as you exit the chamonix valley and join the Arve valley. 

Hope this helps.

It's quite an 'adventurous' spot this, a bit off the normal Cham beaten track. It's well down the valley, with a bit of a slog approach. 

I went to solo it a few years ago, but found the rock quality not to my liking. Still, it is a remarkable spot full of chamois when I was exploring there in early summer season..

looks like an utter pile of choss! why would you want to go anywhere near that? i have climbed similarly chossy shit on the Eiger, but thats the eiger, its an objective worth the risk! if you want to get those views you could just 'walk round the back'!
