Some would say that this is the best sector at Céüse, which would arguably make it the best sector in the World - now all you have to do is climb the best route here and you can retire! If anything the quality can be a bit overwhelming, and it's hard to appreciate individual routes when they are all so good. The bolts can be quite spaced here, but that just allows you to enjoy the climbing with less interruption, at least it does when you well within your grade - not the easiest thing. Just one warning: the slabby lower grade routes at the right-hand end aren't giveaways. Guidebook page 38.
