Site d’escalade de Saint Aupre
Bouldering site in the forest and sports site from 6a to 8a +. Pleasant cliff and very sunny in the afternoon.
The routes of the cliff are traced on a gray limestone with strata with little taking holes, the whole in a slight slope or bulge of little marked but formidable aspect. Climbing quickly becomes nasty and fingered.
