Description

Gros Sablons
Most people have actually heard of this huge area. It's located in the middle of the forest Trois Pignon. You can park either on the west side or east side to reach it. The approach is about 20 minutes depending on preferred destination.
The north area is a quite compact area with an orange AD circuit and two unofficial circuits (Blue and barely visible pink/salmon). The blue D+ is though very good and adds a lot of quality problems to this part of the forest. Might though be more in the TD range..
South of Chemin des Cassis you can find the rest of this classical area. Here you can find a super long orange AD+ circuit which sadly already is a bit mossy in some parts. A very good looking blue D+ circuit and the classical sandbagged Black ED-.
The area in general is very fast drying, features harder rock type and will be good for colder days. But the area is shady and open enough for the wind to cool it down on warmer days as well.
A fast glimpse makes you wonder why so much is still undone on these beautiful blocks.. so maybe also a good area to brush a few new ones, one thing is for sure, there are no lack of boulders around here to brush and climb.
You can find boulders from super easy ones all the way to 8C+, so everyone should find something challenging around here.
For the approaches a stroller is fine, but in the actual area it might be a bit difficult to walk around with a stroller. Otherwise it's for sure children friendly.

For most of the part you can find reception in the area, most boulders are located on a hill, but it still might be wise to download the guide for offline use.
