Description 

The namesake route of the sector is a great route with lots of small crimps and pockets through a powerful, pumpy crux up a slightly overhanging face. Start with some funky moves which lead to the starting 'dish'. From the dish climb steep rock with holds that get smaller and smaller...pull the crux and climb less steep rock to the anchor. I remember one of the crux draws being difficult to clip.

Location 

This is the 2nd route when you arrive at the sector--on a small wall and with one other route 'le druid and goguette' to its left. The name is written on a glued-on cobblestone at its base. Lots of chalk on this one.

Protection 

glue in bolts to a fixed anchor.
