ROCHERS DU D'GROSEAU

A newly developed cliff just near Malaucene that is yummy.

Three cliffs on a hillside that face West and North, keeping the shade till afternoon and providing excellent climbing on hot days.

30-40 routes, a few easy ones, a few hard ones, and some cracking desperates. Big walls with big holds, and big distances apart. Nearly all of the routes are very well bolted.

A nice degree of variation in the different cliffs; the upper being with big holds, the middle with technical pockets, and the lower diddy cliff in the Frankenjura crimpy sharp pockets.

Nothing huge, but some pretty good quality.
