Crag features
Impressive limestone crag with single pitch routes up to about 30m in length rising out from the trees. The crag is generally well bolted with route names and grades at the bases of the routes. The popular climbs are generally on solid rock but expect to encounter some loose rock on some of the lesser travelled climbs.
Some of the grades may feel a bit stiff although many routes appear to have been upgraded since the guidebook was written. New routes are being added all the time so guidebook information may be out of date.
There is a free basic campsite by the first of the four parking areas.
Good news for Hauteroche fans. A new (2013) guide is available. It's for sale in the tourist information office in Venarey-les-Loumes at 15€. Proceeds go to equipping.
Approach notes
From the D9 between Sombernon and Semur turn off into the delightful little hamlet of Hauteroche. Take a very minor road SE towards Thenissey to the first sharp bend L. A large parking area is on the L here.
If this should be full(!) a further 200m down the track leads to a big wild camping area with toilets (useful for those planning a stay).
Opposite the main parking (across the road) a track leads into the woods. Follow this for further, and smaller parking areas.
For a first visit it may be best to use the main parking and the signposted path which heads off just R of the track. This leads past Secteur Piquette and then to Secteur Borgogne. The same path leads eventually to the Grand Falaise.
If using the smaller parking areas on the track look for signs to the 'Grotte de Maquis'. From here a steep path will lead down to the L end of the Grand Falaise.
Restricted Access
The routes between Ebowli Tower and Le Julie towards the South of the crag have restrictions between 15th February and 25th June to protect birds.
No other known restrictions.
