The Rocher de la Vièrge got it's name from a small statue that is stil present on the top of the crag (though not reachable for climbers). It is a limestone crag, often vertical with (very) small holds, offering mostly quite difficult routes (mostly on the Chirmont South face), although nice easier climbing 😊is possible on the Arête de la Tour, the Arête de Fairon and the Grand Ressaut.
Due to restrictive environmental legislation in Belgium, part of the routes had to be made impossible to climb around 2010 (screws and bolts make it impossible to clip in) 😒. Those routes are not comprised here. Please respect these restrictions!!
Nevertheless, the Rocher de la Vièrge offers some of the fine Belgian testpieces, such as 'Mon nom est personne' (7c+/8a)
And - quite uncommon in Belgium - nice bouldering can be found on the Rocher de Fairon!
