"le dôme du goûter" and "l'aiguille du goûter" are the names of two mountains. After their names the first would be a rounded one (dôme = dome) and the second one would be a sharp-pointed one (aiguille = needle) "un sérac" is a heap of disordered block of ice, where the glacier is crumbling into the valley. the whole is a description of a place as "the ice-block field between the Dôme du Goûter and the Aiguille du Goûter"
It's a one day trip taking the lift up, climb down a couple of hundreds meters to where you can start to ski and to ski all the way down to the valley station.
I have never heard the expression "fille en aiguilles" in French, although, literally, it means "girl on the blades" or "girl on the sharp rocks".Think you mean "de fil en aiguille" which means one thing leading to another
Aiguille Rock Climbing Center has amazing bouldering. Although limited on roof and lacking top out boulders, the setters, lead by Mark Mercer (Assistant Head Routesetter certified by USAC), set brand new boulder routes every Friday on 5 different main sections ranging between V0-V9. These walls have produced many strong climbers, such as Ben Hoberg who just recently placed 6th in the world at the 2010 IFSC Youth Championship! So you should definitely come climb, it's less than ten bucks too for all day!
