Description Suggest change

One of the western most walls in Céüse, this area contains slabbier rock with less crowds and mostly good gray rock. While not the main draw for most people who make the long hike up, this area is good in the morning, has a fair number of easier climbs (Fr 5-6s) and multi-pitch routes on both gear and sport. You'll rarely be waiting to get on a climb so if want a break from the 3pm rush at Demi-lune, check out this wall for a change.

Lumineuse is to climber's left and Les Larmes de pluie and CAPEPS are to the right.

Getting There Suggest change

Approach time about an hour to hour fifteen. Follow the main trail up either from the small or large parking lot until hitting the forest road. Follow the forest road up and left until it feels you are almost walking past the end of the cliff. Shortly after crossing a large cattle and little door/cave in the rock, follow a dirt trail up that is marked with a cairn. The trail is obvious but not very worn. After a few switch backs you will come across the obvious trail of the chemin de ronde. Head back right up a few more switch backs, and go right at a fork with a sign marking trail to the top of the cliff. Look for an obvious steep trail toward the cliff on your left (there is currently a tree post across the trail) which will deposit you at base of the climb Lilli.

Alternatively, take the main trail up to the chemin de ronde and follow it left until hitting the same steep trail but this would require hiking up higher to only come back down. Although you can follow the base of the cliff from Cascade all the way to this area, the trail is rough and probably takes longer than alternative approaches.
