Wonderful french mountain limestone. Mainly slabby, the rock has great friction and is plastered with deep gouttes.
Approach notes
Its a hell of a hike from Abondance so you can drive up an unpaved road to a parking spot at the lowest point of the cliffs, 'Petit Raille'.

| The details on this crag/area are quite light. On the S. side of the Mont Chauffe there is a line of excellent quality limestone cliffs and slabs extending for over 1km. The petit Raille is just one of five principal sectors/crags. There are many many climbs - mostly fully bolted - available and there are about 70 for the Petit Raille alone. The climbing on the S. side of the Mont Chauff� would keep most entertained for weeks. Check out the R�gion Chauff� section of the Chablais Grimpe website for very detailed route descriptions and photos. http://www.chablais-grimpe.com/chauffe/chauffe_voiespetiteraille.php?f=0
Access. You can drive up to parking at Le Sauvage - above Abondance and through Le Mont - Take the rough track to the first wide parking area - you won't need a 4x4 unless there's snow on the ground. All secteurs are accessible from here by differing lengths of walking.
The climbing by the way is excellent! climbojimbo - 04/Sep/12 |
