    Description

 

Interesting crag, with a lot of future potential. The two longer routes are very worthwhile and offer quite varied climbing. The crag feels very remote and isolated despite being quite close to Geneva. Please note parking is limited and the future of the crag depends on the locals goodwill.

 

  Directions

 

Several approaches are possible, difficult to say which is the quickest. At Chaumont take the small road up the hill to Vovray, easy to miss the turning. Park in the village of Vovray (3 houses) the crag is easily visible from the road on the right. Walk down the road until it turns into a track then make a right turn up a field of grass into the woods, easy to follow track leads to the crag.
