Access
- Park in the lot along the D 1205, next to the Balme intersection on the Magland side. Enter the woods, then turn right onto a faint trail. When you reach the sign indicating the parking lot, do not follow the trail that climbs to the left up the slope; instead, continue almost parallel to the road, ascending slightly. Follow another trail along the embankment overlooking the road. When this trail descends slightly, continue ascending across the slope. Another very faint trail passes just below a large boulder and becomes a bit steeper (with a few switchbacks). In about 15 minutes, you’ll reach the base of the cliff; follow it to the right to reach the climbing area, located beneath a large yellow roof.
