600m.
Route 69 in the Desnivel guidebook.
On the east face of Biiguinnoussene. Starting from the refuges, head west up the wide left-leaning couloir/valley leading to Clochetons (between Afella and Biiguinnoussene). About half-way up this, take the first obvious couloir to the right (45°). Soon afterwards the couloir is crossed by another - take the left fork, which is wider and a little steeper. Pass a rock band on its left (UIAA IV), after which the couloir broadens. Where it splits, take the right-most line over a 10m mixed step (IV). Follow the couloir to the col between La Tour (a large pinnacle) and the main summit. Turn right up a steepening couloir (mixed, V) and follow the ridge to the summit.
Descent: continue along the ridge down to the col (just after a large gendarme) and follow the couloir back down to the refuges.
