Cliff of about fifty meters in height. Climbing on steep slabs with lots of crimps and vertical holds. Different style for the 2nd pitches which are quite overhanging.

A helmet for the belayer is highly recommended (possible rockfall). The sun arrives quite early in winter around 10 a.m. and 12-13 p.m. in summer. On the fog side, if Ambérieu is below, the cliff too. The rock sees very little rain and dries very quickly. The foot of the routes can be a little muddy in places. Equipment on pins, chemical sealing.

The cliff being little frequented, it is asked to participate in the maintenance by pulling out the weeds which could clutter the catches...
30 min walk from the parking lot on the way up to the Château de St-Germain.
