Description
The rock here is limestone, schist and flint. It's basically thin layers of rock (like a millefeuille) that are on top of each other, angled sideways from west (up) to east (down). Because of this you'll have big jugs and good feet on the more west facing climbs, and more tricky grips on the south facing ones.
Always wear a helmet here since some parts of the rock are quite loose and pretty much every climb there will be some (small) rockfall.

This bilingual English/French guidebook is the digital version of the guidebook Escalade autour de Gap. In addition to the Gap region, it covers the Dévoluy and the Champsaur massifs and, a little further north, the Valgaudemar massif and the Buëch valley. The guidebook presents more than twenty sport climbing sites, including the western part of Céüse, the world famous sport crag, but also many multi-pitch routes generally fully bolted and at moderate level. The content of the guidebook is detailed in the OmegaRoc app.
