The guide covers 15 different areas and 99 routes around the Aiguille d’ Argentiere and Aiguille Verte, with many of the routes close to the Refuge d’ Argentiere.

For each of the 15 areas there is approach information, a map, and a description of the character and style of climbing to be found. The 15 areas are as follows:
