This is the fine peak to west of Tarascon and east of Calamès. It has three main developed sectors, though sadly at the moment one of these is banned - the Grande Paroi, the tall buttress directly below the summit of the mountain. There are several mid-grade multi-pitch routes here but currently climbing is not allowed because of fears about rockfall. That leaves us with the fiercely overhanging test-pieces of the Dévers (Overhangs) and the soaring pitches of the Cimetière des Boucs - both of which are well worth a visit if you are up to the grades and/or approach walk. We also cover the quarry at Bédeilhac but that is hardly a selling point.
