Description
A dihedral 7 pitch climb on the Pilier du Couchant on generally excellent limestone.
Pitch 1 involves some 5.8 climbing with no bolts.
Pitch 2 is the first real technical pitch that offers decent moves on 5.10a terrain.
Pitch 3 involves some basic dihedral moves on 5.10b
Pitch 4 is the best pitch with an awesome sustained crux up the dihedral that people seem to rate anywhere from 5.10c (6b) to 5.10d (6b+). Its difficulty depends mostly on your ability to stem and use a variety of techniques from fist jams to pockets. It is a bit run-out but takes small pro.
Pitch 5 = 5.10b also involves two or three exciting moves, following the dihedral.
Pitches 6-7: The last 2 pitches are 5.9+ and are easier climbing on occasionally sharp limestone slab.
The descent is an easy 45/60 min walk-off to the right (East), with cairns marking the trail back to the road.
