Description
A charming sector with challenging climbing and very special vegetation. The most inclined section has everything it needs to become a first rate beginner site. The area is well protected from winds and offer some really great routes.
This is a really nice spot for climbing early in the morning until around 14:30PM which is in the shadow. Excellent rock, fully bolted as usual by Zbynek Cepela apart from route L'Hypothenuse which needs a few nuts, friends and slings.
A slightly overhanging wall facing west. Some bolts are rusty and they are fairly widely spaced. The nominated grades are quite sandbagged.
