UKC

180m, 8 pitches. A very nice TD opened long ago (in 1973) by Jeannot Gilly and updated in 2003 by Christophe Bernard. All pitches are 3 stars and the equipment (a little too?) Reassuring. The overall difficulty is 6a with aid. 6b+ free.

L1: 6a - Pillar, one step, short
L2: 5c - Beautiful dihedron, can be linked with the previous pitch
L3: 6a - Beautiful dihedral-crack with a belay in a small cave
L4: 6b - Slab with very sharp holes, short
L5: 5c - Slab
L6: 6b + - Slightly overhanging on positive holds but harder than it looks with a difficult rock-over, finish with a delicate traverse
L7: 6b - After climbing between crack, pillar and tree, follow the slab with big holes
L8: 6a - Beautiful traverse on a slab, technical on small holds

Jeannot Gilly 1973.
