Description
A nice intermediate-advanced North facing crag, you will enjoy climbing in the shade during the hot lebanese summer. This crag was developed in 2018 by Pascale Matera, Michel Matera, Jad Khoury, Georges Emil, Jakob Farah, David Adams, Laurent Outtier, Stephane Chabert, Sebastien Bohin and Raphael Pedron.
The routes have little name plaques screwed into the wall at their base, making route identification very easy.
Approach
On the road taking you from Batroun to Tannourine, and arriving in Beit Chlela, you will see a sign on your right of a maronite church with a white cross. Take the off road going up until you get to a parking spot. Make sure you park well so there is enough space for other cars. Follow the path from the parking road on foot for about 30m, you then take the steep path on your left, using an assortment of ropes and ladders to ascend, until you reach the big white cross. At that point you can see the crag and follow a small path going up to the right. Total ascent time is 10 to 15 min.
