J2 : Traverse via the Brèche de la Meije - Homme glacier :
An early start towards the Brèche de la Meije, the gateway to the winding Meije glacier, where a route beneath the overwhelming north face leads us to the foot of the Serret du Savon couloir, the key passage towards the sun and the Aigle hut.
