A popular sector, mostly short and steep, but it has some good longer routes too. The base of the central section is flat and child-friendly, whilst accessing the routes at the far left and on the catwalk requires more care. Guidebook page 168.

Route (click for voting and user comments)		Symbols	Grade
1	Dalle à part A short slab on perfect rock. Unfortunately the hazardous approach (old fixed ropes) is not ideal for novices.	Reachy	5
2	La zezette à zeze Scramble up and left to a belay and climb directly above.	1 Stars Crimpy	5
3	L'amie dalle From the same belay anchor as La zezette à zeze, climb rightwards on ugly chipped holds then up much more pleasantly above.	1 Stars Technical	5
4	Mes 3M 1) 5+, 2) 5+. Climb left through the first overlap and on to a stance. Take an impressive line through the juggy overhang.	2 Stars	5+
5	It's cosy 1) 5, 2) 5+. A fantastic route, especially the first pitch, which shares the first bolt with Mes 3M.	3 Stars Pumpy	5+
6	Dalle amie 1) 5, 2) 6a+. Two fine pitches straight up the wall.	2 Stars Pumpy	6a+
7	Liberté d'aboyer Start at the right-hand side of the ledge. A confident approach will help as the bolts aren't always where you want them.	1 Stars Fluttery	5
8	Nitro glisse et ripe Start behind the bushes.	Crimpy	7b+
9	Tracto fesse The white streak leads to an ugly crack finale.	Graunchy	6b+
10	La sanction de gauche 1) 6a, 2) 5, 3) 6c+. Lateral thinking may help on the first pitch, which can be combined with the second to give a fine long...	1 Stars Technical	6c+
11	La sanction de droite 1) 6a, 2) 6a, 3) 5+. The first pitch is shared with the left twin.	1 Stars Pumpy	6a

15	Le retour du dgé d'ail	Technical	6c+
16	Du plomb dans les doigts From a block, climb on holds that are invisible from below.	1 Stars Crimpy	6c+
17	La tunique de Célénos A very hard start through a bulge, and still tricky above.	Technical Crimpy	7a+
18	Patriote contre scud 1) 6a+, 2) 6c. The first pitch up a groove is scrappy, but accesses the much better second pitch , which can alternatively be...	1 Stars	6c
19	Grace à toit Trend right to bulges and aim for the huge belay ring.		6c+
20	Megamix Start as for the next route then trend left through steep terrain.	Crimpy	6b+
21	Les seins de druïna 1) 6b, 2) 6b+. The first pitch is worth a star, but is hard for short climbers. The second pitch is long and varied with...	2 Stars Pumpy Crimpy	6b+
22	Manimal Opposite the arrival point. The bouldery start may be impossible for the short. The top is slightly easier once the holds are...	1 Stars Reachy Technical	7a
23	Zaza Good climbing round the right side of the bulge. Polished.	1 Stars Pumpy	6a+
24	Fleur de calcaire The rounded rib is nice, short and hard.	1 Stars Technical	6a+
25	Rien que pour toi	Crimpy	6c
26	Joe Climb right through the bulges avoiding Cocoon... if you can.		6b+
27	Cocoon The groove right of the bulges. Good moves with spaced bolts.	1 Stars Pumpy	5+
28	Prise surprise Easier with a long reach and a sixth sense.	1 Stars Reachy Technical	6c

31	Niagara		6c+
32	Nikita		6b+
33	Upper Route Left Brilliant steep climbing on good holds.	3 Stars Pumpy	6c
34	Upper Route Right A fine addition but still a little friable.	2 Stars Pumpy	6a+
