200m deep water solo traverse. Either direction from beach to “super calanque” or back or both. French books put it at 6c. One bit has fairly high crux but mostly easy traversing close to sea level.

βeta: Really fun satisfying route with grippy holds that vary in size from juggy sidepulls to nails crimps. Got kind of nervous at the beginning and once the route started to take me higher, so I only managed it up to the bouys and then fumbled the overhang, which looks like it's only really possible to do by climbing quite high up. Would love to go back some time, if the walk didn't take so long, and I would definitely recommend it.
