An excellent crag with a variety of sectors - some multi-pitch, some roof work in a cave and many vertical lines in the 7's. In the shade from about 2pm, a good crag for summer.

Along with La Colonne Unique, Le Refuge and Le Saut de l'Ours this is one of a group of small crags with hard lines situated near the popular tourist cave of Niaux. Generally good sites for spring and autumn

A lovely site with mostly short routes in a beautiful setting. Several sectors all close to each other. Gets the sun early, and in the shade from mid-afternoon.

Superb crag, with an overhanging centrepiece home to many a hard route. The wings hold some easier lines, and the overhangs give sheltered climbing in rainy weather.

The best bouldering in the Ariège. Granite boulders in two wooded sectors right by the road, pleasantly cool in summer, as it faces north, but often icy and/or damp through the winter.

Good quality vertical single pitches, mostly hard 6's to 7a. In the shade until early afternoon, so good for summer mornings or winter afternoons.
