A compact face of good rock, equipped with chain-link bolts, and only seconds from the car. The locals call the cliff Canyelles, though its usual name comes from the German climber who placed the bolts and named it after his dog! The cliff is basically a broad flat wall with a small subsidiary buttress to the left. We have continued to use the coloured names though much of the paint as faded away. DESCENT: There are three new lower-offs, care is needed on the routes on the right unless you have a 70m rope. Guidebook page 225.

7	Yellow Bolts 32m. A good climb, quite stiff for the grade early on but then easing with height.		5+
8	White Bolts 32m. Another good one. Steep moves gain the slab then climb up this to the final bulge which is taken at its left edge. 1 user comment		6b
9	Blue Bolts 34m. A steady lower section leads to the crucial bulge just below the cliff top. 3 user comments		6a
10	Pink Bolts 34m. A good introduction to the cliff with a low crux and easier climbing above, then a delicate finale. 1 user comment		5+
11	Red Bolts 30m of climbing. Disjointed! The right-hand line on the lower wall leads to a traverse right (stance) and a tough crack finish.		6b+
12	Firenza 10m. A short stiff pitch located to the right of the top pitch of the previous climb gives the hardest moves hereabouts.		6c
