Easy route to the top of Le Chinois.

Rocks can be very slippery and have large gaps between them. Smooth-soled trainers used by many are not suitable. Boots or at least climbing trainers with stiff sole and good grip. Use hands even when you think you have good grip, if possible.

I have been to Le Chinois 5 times over 9 years and have never seen the view yet, I have only seen Le Chinois from the beach so be prepared to see only mist 😋
