Description
Made famous in the film the "Blizzard of Aahhhs".
Rarely in condition, this is a steep line starts just out of the Aiguille du Midi ice cave entrance.
It gets it's name from the French for dustbin as this was once upon a time the rubbish shoot.
The line has a rock band in the middle and needs extremely good snow cover- this has been very infrequent in recent years and this line may be of historical interest only.
Whilst short, a fall here would be serious.
The bergschrund is also often quite open at the bottom.
