Merovingian Line

Description

At the right side of the cliff is a big steep slab. At the left side of the slab is an obvious line. Climb past three bolts to the crack and follow it to a run out section with two far spaced bolts then up to a bolted belay right of a pine tree.

The Merovingians were a Frankish dynasty that came to rule the region largely corresponding to ancient Gaul from the mid fifth to the mid eighth century.
Merovingians were also claimed to be the descendants of Jesus Christ; this is seen as popular pseudo-history by most academicians.

Location
