After a first, partially vegetated wall you will reach a niche. The following steep section starts with an overhanging passage. A traverse will lead to an arete which you then climb up, potentially already in sunshine, though you may have started your climb in the shade. Descend over a slightly brittle ledge and ascend once more on a slab to the junction of the via ferratas: where an exposed suspension bridge leads to the less difficult exit («échappatoire») to the lac de Moiry dam and therefore also to the Restaurant Lac de Moiry.
