Le Dictionnaire Assis, 7A+
Could be a classic so I am surprised not to be able to find any mention of it. Time will tell. Sit start with right hand on rail, left hand on a crimp. Climb up using the arete and holds on the beautiful face. Powerful start and technical finish. The stand start with both hands on the lip is around 6B in itself and great. I think a lot of people is confusing this stand start with the easier l’index which uses the entire arete and doesn’t seem to get a lot of traction.

A gem. The crimpy sit start on the steep face, the powerful moves on crimpy pinches followed by a technical and precise top. Ticks in around 7A+/7B for me. Might depend a bit on span how difficult it feels. Stand version around 6A+/6B is great to check out if the sit feels too hard.
I see a direct version a bit further to the right using only face holds (without the pinchy arete). Might be called l'Encyclopédie Assis and be around 7C-8A.
