Arabaux is a small hamlet tucked under the folds of the Plantaurel, one of a range of hills that form the Pre-Pyrenees. The climbing is scattered around the rocky limestone ridge to the north of the settlement. The quality of the climbing here is nothing special, but it does add another crag into the mix, particularly for those staying nearby, and the weather can be better here than in the high hills. Sector Initiation is useful and there is some decent bouldering on the central tier, though it is quite a long way to haul a bouldering mat!
