Description

Rocher Saint-Germain est is a nice, beginner friendly area with a lot of nice boulders and good quality circuits.

There are white and yellow circuit, which are suitable for kids.

Then there's an orange (AD), Blue (D+) and a red (TD+).

Apart from the circuits, there's only a handful of problems hors circuit (off the circuit).

Most notable problems are Vagues Patatras (8A), La Toupie Carnivore (8B) and from the easier side L'Arête des Comiques (7A).

There's also a boulder with very nice slabs varying from hard to insanely hard. The boulder can be found under the name of L'Artificier.

Rocher Saint-Germain Est

The area is access sensitive!

The forest is a sensitive area. So these rules apply everywhere (also outside Font).

* No littering
* No fires
* Brush the holds
* Do NOT climb when the rock is wet! It is very brittle when wet.
* Carry the pads, don't drag them (helps preventing erosion)
* Stay on the paths!
* Absolutely no bivouacing/camping!

Access is easy. Just park the car and walk approx. 400 meters on a sandy path.

The area is on a hill, so it is not the best if you have a baby stroller.

You'll arrive to a hill littered with boulders.
