Description

The Couloir d'Espade is a popular line.

It provides beautiful views and is eaisly accessable.

My post on www.couloirquest.com shows the approach from the top of 4 Termes lift.

Another, and possibly shorter, approach is to just head directly up from the piste at the bottom.

Following the descent route for the ascent.

The difficulty rating for this route utilizes the posted FATMAP criteria.
