BOURDONS

This is a small cliff above the town of Nyons, and is of classic molasses limestone with small pockets and good friction.

It's a small place, just only 6-10 metres high, but very well equipped for kids and anybody learning. Most of the routes are in the grade 3-5, and the harder routes are in the central wall (in photo), which have very short bloc style moves - that appear easy when you know how to do them.

Very handy to know about.
