Description Suggest change

This is the problem for which the area gets its name. The boulder seeming like a huge beached whale (Baleine - French for Whale) holds many great problems. La Baleine starts just under the overhang and makes it's first move to a jug rail low on the face, climb left then set up and make a huge lunge for a slopper on top. The crux is scrapping your way to the top over that beached whale. 

Location Suggest change

From the parking lot for TAZ do NOT take the main trail but follow the curve of the road 50ft towards Targassonne for a second smaller path. From that path, to the left you can get into Carriére and to the right, Créatura. Follow the path straight and it will lead you straight to Baleine.
