Sub-summit on the western Grandes Jorasses ridge, named after Queen Margherita of Italy; usually climbed as part of the full Jorasses traverse.
Named for Marguerite Walker, the daughter of Horace Walker. The Pointe is one of the lesser summits on the long east-west ridge of the Grandes Jorasses. Its first ascent as a separate summit is conventionally dated to the late 1890s, when the Sella brothers and the Maquignaz guides made systematic separate ascents of the Jorasses sub-summits during the surveying campaigns of the Club Alpino Italiano.
