We tried to climb here last year but access from Lafare was closed. 

Can anyone confirm if we can access the parking pictured at the moment and if so how long the walk in is roughly? 

Can’t comment on that parking, but was there a few weeks ago and had no problems with access from Lafare. 

The Dentelles massif is private land and the owners have decided to close it to vehicle access. To climb on the Gigondas crags you have to park at les Florets and walk whereas previously you could park at the col de Cayron. The only reason access to the Clapis crags might be banned is if there is high fire risk which there was for a lot of last summer. Of course in those conditions access on the Gigondas side would be banned as well.

I guess the time to walk up to the col de Cayron is in the region of 10 - 15 minutes.

Great thankyou. The Florets parking you refer to, is that the one pictured in my post?

Yes, parking les Florets.

I was climbing there 3 days ago and no problem with the parking.

jon is probably right about the fire risk last year
