Restricted Access
In June 2002 a huge rockfall from high above the crag swept the ground at the foot of the crag removing a few of the first bolts and felling mature trees, some of the blocks reaching the village of Barberine. Despite purging the couloir above the crag numerous times over a period of years further rockfalls occurred. This resulted in the crag being banned - an arrêté municipale - which is still in force. Climbing here therefore is at the climber's own risk. The commune is not responsible for any injuries and climbers' insurance is void.
A 6a+ first pitch up the arête followed by an easy traverse right then the steep juggy wall. Normally done in one pitch with a few long quickdraws/skipping some.
