    Description

 

Leaz is situated on a escarpment overlooking the river Rhone. The routes are fairly steep and the protection quite sporting spaced - Deckout potential on a few of the routes. The crag faces the sun in the afternoon and is a good crag to visit on a summer evening. There are 3 sectors - The main sector being the more worthwhile.

 

  Directions

 

Park in the car park over looking the Rhone, ignore the main track to zour right, instead head right following the wire fence on the river side. This fairly sketchy path then forks, the left side heading down to the lower sector the right side mounts a small wall and then follows the bottom of the main sector.
