Restricted Access

The ONF have announced that the iconic L'Elephant boulder is off-limits until the end of June 2019 due to erosion.

Don't climb here immediately after rain. The rock is soft and very suseptable to erosion when it's damp.

To the left of Black 23 (La Moreau). Pull on large sidepulls from sitting and top out on jugs. f4 from standing.

βeta: Started with my hands crossed on the semi circle getting my right hand in the best bit but not at the top. Then layback/smeared off the main face to get some off the pad, used a heel in the semi circle to get my right hand into the top of the semi circle hold. Switched the heel to a toe and catch the lowest part of the big jug hold. Very frustrating to work out but glad I found something that worked (quite bunched for the tall).
