300m, 9 pitches. The Mont Blanc Granite guidebook describes the route as 300m (+150m to get to the start). This is perhaps misleading, as getting to the route involves a long stretch of very loose scrambling up and past Pirate.

There is only one bolted belay, which is after the second pitch. From the top, abseil down Pirate or a newer route which crosses Pilier Bettembourg at the second pitch (the hut guardians have topos for this).

Georges Bettembourg, Herv? Thivierge 12/May/1975.
