I was pretty intimidated by this after doing Pedro Polar but thankfully Piola's grading has kept pace with the '+ grade per decade' principle. A bit wandering and arbitrary lower down, then the big corner pitches and the summit are amazing. Great long day out, 10hrs for the route then a tedious descent of Voie Normale.
