Route (click for voting and user comments)		Symbols	Grade
1	No Name	1 Stars Loose	6b
2	Red Bone A fine long pitch with a tricky finale. It is 5+ to the first lower-off.	2 Stars Pumpy	6a+
3	Lovely Day A tricky mantle start leads to interesting easier ground above.	2 Stars	6a
4	Friends for Ever Another quality newish one passing left of the big hollow. Slow to dry.	3 Stars Pumpy	6a+
5	Petite fumée Top 50 A great route, sustained with a fine finish up the searing crack.	3 Stars Pumpy	6b
6	Plexiglass Tiny holds make for a hard crux - or two.	2 Stars Technical Crimpy	7b
7	Soleil d'automne Steady climbing (parabolts) with a tricky start and a high crux. The upper crux can be avoided via the groove on the left.	2 Stars Technical	5+
8	La branlante The original classic of the quarry following the spaced glue-ins.	2 Stars Fluttery	5+
9	La belle américaine Move right then head to a final blank section. Improvise from here.	1 Stars Technical	6a
10	Puce A classic of its style - sketchy face climbing on tiny edges.	2 Stars Technical Pumpy	7a+
11	Classée x Top 50 The balancy arete is a tricky little number - neat movements.	2 Stars Technical Rounded	6a+
12	Manic dépression Tricky moves are needed to pass the roof, the rest is easier.	1 Stars	6a+
13	Lenemi Direct past the awkwardly-placed bolts is much harder. Unsatisfying.	Technical	6a
14	Superposition de 2 mouvements vibratoires Powerful and sequency moves through the roof gain the bomb-bay slot. Exit this and finish up the face.	2 Stars Technical Graunchy	7a+
