Topo : Escalades au Thaurac, Fabien Roumanille et Jean-Luc Fabre, 2017. 184 pages
Thaurac, it is a magnificent site as we love them, with all the levels, all orientation, all the styles. But well Thaurac, it is a little complicated. It is immense, there is an enormous potential, routes everywhere, cave, all levels of the evolution of the climber as the equipment, then necessarily, the rundown... It is not simple. There is well but a great number of new sectors were born since its last known edition. To simplify, we find there: quite a lot of multi pitch routes, most of them more or less equipped ground of adventure, and many more "sports" sectors. In these sectors, the equipment is generally good, and when they do not appear on the rundown, the openers drew one at feet of ways.

Approach
<5 min
Reach Ganges at the North of Montpelier and on the West of Nimes. A hair in the South is Saint Bauzille de Putois, where we set off to the parking lot of the cave des demoiselles for the most part of sectors except 'Wailing Wall'[7539484], for which it is necessary to park on the road of the Ganges. On can also climb on the other bank of the Hérault river, in Euzière, by parking to Agonès (face east).
Ethic inherited from France
Park where indicated, take care of the environment, buy the local guidebook when possible (this is one of the ways you can help local route setters), clean up your shoes before climbing, don't spray beta, be polite.

Thaurac is the largest climbing site in the Montpellier region. The cliffs rise on both sides of the Hérault gorges, offering a wide variety of climbing styles, difficulty levels, and most importantly, orientations that allow everyone to climb throughout the year. This guidebook is the digital version of the ‘Escalade au Thaurac’ guide, regularly reissued and updated since 1989. It features over 1200 routes spread across around fifty sectors. Each sector is illustrated with photos displaying clear and precise route outlines, while approaches are illustrated with panoramic photos for effective orientation.
The guidebook is produced by Fabien Roumanille and Loïc Le Denmat, two of the most active route setters and maintainers at Thaurac.
The profits generated from the sale of this guide are partially allocated to the maintenance and development of the region’s cliffs.
