Gourgs Blancs Pass to Portillon Refuge from La Soula

Hi there, I’m planning to cross the Gourgs Blancs Pass at the end of the month, from La Soula Refuge to Portillon Refuge. On this section near the pass, I don’t have any trail marked on my IGN map. Is the path well signposted, or should I use a compass? Also, beyond the physical effort, are there any technical, exposed, or vertigo-inducing sections on this part? Since I’m finding very little info, I’m being thorough with my questions.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

hi

maybe you’ll find something here:

be careful—two days ago, an experienced mountaineer died in this area after slipping on the east ridge of Pic des Spigeoles.
