Description Suggest change

This is a very nice 200m rock summit above Corbeyrier on the way to Les Agites. The rock is good quality limestone. There are currently only two climbs developed on the rock, but it has substantial potential for future development. The classic climb is "Les Filles sures en liberte", which is a 7 pitch 180m climb with a 6a+ rating, and is absolutely worth climbing. The other climb is Nid d'oiseau, which is a 7a climb. The exposure of both climbs is very good and there are excellent views of the lake and the valley throughout most of the upper pitches. The climbs get sun during the day, but, due to the elevation and exposure, are still very climbable even during hot summer days.

Getting There Suggest change

There are 3 ways to get to the rock.

1) (Easiest) Go up through the tunnel to Les Agites and park near the first cattle gate. Just before the cattle gate (if you are going uphill), there is a well-marked path to your right. Stay on the path and follow the hiking trail signs till you get to a steel gate (depending on the season, you may pass through an electric wire gate). Just before the steel gate, head uphill to your left along the fence. A climber's trail is clearly apparent, and ducks under the fence. Follow this trail till you get to the climbs, with bolts and painted names. The 7a climb is first and is right off the path. The 6a+ climb is just past this, up the gully to your left.

2) Park at the picnic area close to the tunnel warning sign. Walk up the road towards the tunnel. Just before the tunnel, you will see some stairs on your right. Go up the stairs to get to trail... head up the trail to the aforementioned steel gate, go through, and then head uphill to your right. Follow the above instructions the rest of the way

3) Park in Luan or anywhere along the Les Agites Road and take the hiking trail from Luan to Les Agites. Below the clearly visible rock, you will see a climbers trail heading up to the base of the rock.
