So named because you have to be able to use your feet to succeed here - well maybe. This is only a short tier with a handful of routes, but the rock is excellent as is the outward view. Despite their diminutive stature, the routes are action packed. Guidebook page 192.
| Route (click for voting and user comments) | Symbols | Grade | |
1 |
Shake land From a niche, move out left and climb the nice varied slab. The grade in the local guide of 4 is a bit mean. | 2 Stars Technical Crimpy | 5 |
2 |
Symbiose From the top of the easy groove, attack the thin crack on the left. | 1 Stars Technical | 6a |
3 |
Un drôle de bruit The broad balancy rib leads to laybacking a short open groove. | 2 Stars Technical Rounded | 5+ |
4 |
Un inquiétant silence The right-hand finish to the last route is sketchy. | 1 Stars Technical Rounded | 6a+ |
5 |
Pipoune Pull past the right edge of the overlap. Short 'n' sweet. | 1 Stars | 5+ |
6 |
Fuzzy set The slab gives a fine bit of climbing and is quite tough. | 3 Stars Technical Pumpy Rounded | 6a+ |
7 |
Regard Power up the right-slanting cracks. | 1 Stars Pumpy | 6b |

Le jade Start behind the tree and climb the fine wall leftwards. | 2 Stars Technical | 6b |
10 |
L'obsidienne The wall just left of the angle gives a nice crimpy pitch. | 2 Stars Technical Crimpy | 6c |
11 |
Lla so que cal Climbing the main corner groove is poor and awkward, whereas the slab just to the right is better but hard - you choose. | 1 Stars | 4 |
12 |
Sur le dos du dinosaure Top 50 The thin seam right of the corner is nice. | 2 Stars Technical | 6b |
13 |
Super velcro Top 50 Pad up the slab whilst chanting, "stick you b*******s"! | 2 Stars Rounded | 6b+ |
14 |
Le débutant Start near the base of the slab and climb onto the upper section. Pad up this with interest. | 1 Stars Rounded | 4+ |
15 |
Réflexion This one starts round the toe of the buttress. The first bolt is almost hidden in a tiny groove. Once established, meander up... | 2 Stars Rounded | 5 |
