Me and Max was quite sure that the snowconditions in this couloir should be nice.

Just a little traverse from the pist and you're there! Here is Max preparing for the climb up. In the background you can see the Aiguille des Grands Montets.

There is a other way to the couloir from the north face of Petite Verte but climbing the couloir itself is a better way to get into shape!

The Couloir is about 350 vertical meter high and it took us 60min to climb it.

The couloir is 45-50 degrees steep.
