Rockfax Description
320m. Great slab climbing, that is never strenuous, in the lower reaches of the beautiful Vallon du Bérard. its northerly aspect means it is a cool place on a sunny day and being just above the river means there is a good option for swimming after!
1) 5a, 2) 5b, 3) 5c, 4) 4c, 5) 5c, 6) 5b, 7) 5b, 8) 4c. There is the option to walk 5 mins further to another buttress with a further 4 pitches -4c, 5b, 4c, 5b.

βeta: P5 missing first bolt-hanger, ties-off ok with a thin dynema sling, and easy climbing. 60m ropes absolutely required for descent in four as described below - only just reach the belays. | βeta? | |

βeta: When you get to the crag there are two routes, the first very obvious set of bolts is the other route, it is harder! Razmokets starts further along to the right having scrambled easily up onto a platform. | βeta? | |

βeta: hardest pitch is 5b+ in the laroche and Lelong guidebook and that feels about right. the route is pretty sustained at mid 5 but there is no grade 6 climbing. minimum of 50m absails are needed | βeta? | |
