Description

Perhaps the most famous sector at Ceuse. The routes here are steep and sustained, but with good holds on which to get pumped. Expect a fair bit of polish on the classic routes. Start early if you want some shade.

Climb up the 'tree' and follow the groove

A V9 boulder problem leads to 7b+ ground.

The mantel over the top roof is a heart breaker. Extension is 8a.

Extension of Ténéré.

A superb classic.

Soft for the grade.

Hard and sharp.

Sustained and excellent!

Used to be 7c+, so tough at the current grade.

Very bouldery crux.

Hard start, then much easier. Extension is 8b.

Extension of Pieds Nus...

Best route here? Extension is Magnificat 8b.

Extension of Le Privilege...

Some big pockets, still pumpy though and a tricky finale.

More sustained than Super Mickey and less polished.

A V5 bouldery start to Super Mickey.

A harder start to Keket Blues

Not quite the best for a warm up. Share same start as Women.

Intense lower section. Share same start as Medecine Douce.

A bit painful.
