Originally climbed using yo-yo tactics it was later redpointed by Jean-Pierre Bouvier who renamed it Gandalf le Magicien claiming he had made the first real ascent, which did not sit very well with the local climbers of the time who viewed the frenchman's redpoint tactics as poor style.

Initially climbed with 2 bolts it has variously gained and lost bolts over the years, but now seems to have settled at 4.
