Deverse

A super-steep crag (originally known as Pupuce Surplomb ) with a massive collection of hard to very hard routes - you need to be operating in the 8s to make the most of a visit here, though the talent will be rewarded by some amazing climbs. Everybody now calls it Deverse. Deverse Satanique (8a) and Dies Irae (8a+) as the best natural routes (sharing the same start) above the blocks at the left. Most other routes have some chipped pockets. Obviously very steep, the routes are real tests of power and endurance, because there are not many rests. Soul Sacrifice (8b, equipped by Philip Maurel) is one of the best of this type. Here a selection of the best of the 40+ routes and variations. Guidebook page 300.
