We hasitated a little bit before hiking up here. It was two groups of skiers before us and small chances to have untracked skiing. Usually it doesn't matter for me, but for Max is that quite important...The alternative was instead to ski the Aiguillettes couloir, but it didn't look that good because it was not so much snow in it. I think we did the right thing choosing this decent. Anyway, I felt pretty satisfied after doing it.

Here is the face seeing from the Brèche du Carabinier. It is about 50 degrees the hole way from the top to the bottom but it's not very long so I didn't felt it very demanding. The snow was also very soft so I think that helps a lot aswell.

On this east face there is several steep decents. From left you have the Aiguillettes and the Col du diable, the Chère Couloir, the Isolée and the Diable Couloir.

It's about 600 vertical meters up if you count from the Vallé Blanche and it took us two and a half hour.

Is just steep for about 300 vertical meters.

It was one Italien group and one French group of skiers who joined us. I think this guy is French.

The Decent starts at 3912 meters. We had 1685 vertical meters skiing down to the Montenvers train.
