Rockfax Description
1) 7a, 2) 6c, 3) 6c, 4) 6c+, 5) 6a, 6) 6c, 7) 7a+, 8) 5c, 9) 6c+, 10) 7a+. This sustained and fingery mini-big-wall can be viewed from the Belvédère de l'Escalès, and is a notch up in difficulty from Gwendal and Pichenibule. A few small nuts may be useful on the penultimate pitch, as well as plenty of water as this route is exposed to the sun until late in the day.
Approach via the Sordidon Abseils and descend the Jardin des Bananes leftwards (looking out) under the wall. A fixed rope leads to chains at the edge of the cliff and a 45m abseil to base of the route. © Rockfax
