Very sunny site with beautiful views in wintertime. A mixture of short routes and bouldering.

A small and mossy quartzite crag that's only worth bothering with if you're very local. Can be useful for teaching beginners.

Excellent crag with good testing single pitch lines. Some shade from the trees but can still be hot on some sectors. Not many easy routes.

Not the prettiest site, but easy access and easy routes make this handy for instructing.

North facing and one of the few crags in the Ariège offering a cool option on the hottest summer days. Needs a bit more traffic as the routes can be a bit 'scruffy'.

A little visited site, single pitch on the Rocher École, impressive multi-pitch in the gorge proper.

Very sunny site on account of the solar panel like slabs of rock reflecting all the sun going onto the rock. Recent activity has added a host of harder routes between the cracks.

Popular site with climbers and tourists alike. The routes tend to more cracks and chimneys than usual on limestone and you have to select your route with care - quite a British feel to the climbing.
