\nMercier, very talented in dry-tooling as well as on ice climbing – \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0has found the mixed section on the first pitch quite dangerous for poor protections \u00a0(6 bolts \u00a0+ 3 \u00a0friends added), but has reduced the difficulties grading M5 and saying it’s " plus montagne qu’athl\u00e9tique \u00a0"that is, more alpinistic that sport climbing that. "The result is pleasant and not too hard (WI5 max), but with many acrobatic move."
