Description Suggest change

This crag, outside the Lac du Cap area, is sure to charm you with its New River Gorge feeling.
The rock is different from the Cap rock: compact, with lots of holds and a wide choice of possible routes. It faces south, with a short approach, and from its summit you get a view of part of the Taureau Reservoir. Both trad and sport routes are going up there, and there’s room for about 50 lines. Average height 25 metres, width 250 metres.

Ce crag en périphérie du Lac du Cap,saura vous charmer avec ses allures de New River Gorge!

Des voies traditionnelles et sportives s'y développent et il y a un potentiel d'une cinquantaine de lignes. Hauteur moyenne 25m, Largeur 250m.
