Access to the cliff
Right of and behind the car wash, you have a small tunnel under the railways then a path is leading up to the different sectors. At the first info-board, you can go right to the "Dalle du Chemin de Fer" and left to the other sectors. The next crossroads is before and under sector "Tremblotte" where you have a path going left and down to the "dalle école" and some meters further a path going right and up to the ridge above the whole cliff. Going further via a delicate passage, just above "dalle école", you reach the foot of "La patinoire" and around the corner "la Zone centrale". The path is going down on rocks (a short fixed rope) then traverse on a narrow ledge. At the end of it you can climb up some meters (fixed rope) to arrive at the foot of the routes in the left part of "Zone centrale" and also behind and above the yew, you can follow yellow marks leading to the top. Beware for this mountain goat path as the first traverse is not secured (you have a big peg at the end of the traverse to secure the follower). If you take down under the yew, you arrive under "la Grande Dalle" then always further "la Dalle des Acacias". At the left end of "Les acacias", you can scramble up (some fixed ropes) to reach the top of the cliff where you find an easy path that traverse the whole cliff and leads to the back side of "la dalle du Chemin de fer". There are 2 possibilities from the top to walk down to the foot of the cliff. The left one is the mountain goat from the left top of "La Zone Centrale" leading to the foot of "la Zone Centrale" passing at the belay of "les surplombs de l'Orvet". Beware for this path that is quite exposed. The best way is to take the path at a big cairn going down to the foot of "La Tremblote". All those path are marked with yellow markers.
