Ascents in Marseille area having Beta

Challenging slab, tough warm-up.

Really easy.

Interesting rock with plenty of grip. Wear a helmet as small stones can dislodge. Great view and climbs are right next to the beach. Fun day out followed by a swim 10m away

Attention terrain d'aventure, 5 points pour 40 mètres, la route part sur la gauche, frayeur assurée en ratant le dernier point. Achetez le topo pour grimper à la sainte victoire.

Via chula, lo mejor es poder disfrutar de las vistas de la cala

This is a mega classic due to the views and accessibility, given that it's all easy grades. Bolts are really far apart, so bring small-medium nuts and small cams if you want to be perfectly safe. The belays are all confortable (first one the least confortable). It was a super hot day, but it gets in the shade in the afternoon. I was getting pretty sick that day annoyingly, but this was the best climb in the trip for me, for sure.

This was going very well and I was quite excited, but it was super hot and we were climbing in the sun. Those are my excuses for taking a fall on an 18 during my epic climbing trip. Tough for the grade though... Anyway, reality is, nothing above grade 14 was going to be sent in this trip. Welcome to your 40s.

This was quite exciting to get on, with the grades feeling much harder than they were supposed to be and bolts very far apart. Having some trad gear was crucial. I got fully lost following a diagonal crack in pitch 2 and ended up really far from the belay we were supposed to be at — there are anchors everywhere on that wall! It was super hot in the sun (we started at 12pm in summer!). We had to come down as I wouold have had to downclimb-traverse to find the right anchor and Em was not keen for that.

Jolie ligne évidente bien technique.

Amazing!!

Début galère pour les pieds mais ensuite que du bonheur

Very hot day! Small crimps and slippery feet! Very cool moves at the crux down low, and the second crux at the top also had some very slippery feet, and some weird finger jamming...

Hard moves on very sharp rock... The bottom was hard but fine, the top was really hard and a bit of sand cleaning..

Hard mode at the start then again at the top!

Felt harder than a 6b, but cool moves!

Great views!! Lots of fun on this multi pitch

Really good for a first deep water experience. Place was quite busy, and I didn't have my climbing shoes, so I didn't try anything else!

Wow!! This multi pitch is amazing

Wow, this route surprised us. We just wanted to climb something in the shade and got a really cool 2nd and a spectacular 3rd pitch. The boring 1st and short 4th pitch are add ins.

Continued after "Le pas"

Technical, not so many foot

It's a 4 pitch route with 5a, 6a+, 6b and 5c grades. I did only the second part 6a+, after the first part of the route l'AJ

ça progresse tout doucement

2e avec gants dégaines pas en place

6b+ version

A few loose rocks on the way up, wear a helmet !

Very nice technical climb.

Loved the sarcophagus section. Very unique route! Right below the sarcophagus, and just above the ledge it was very tricky for the grade. The grading is also weird. What is a “5+”? Which grading system is this? I would say maybe around 6a based on the crux.

I think I mixed up a few quickdraws but the route I ended up doing felt like a 6a

Le topo annonce 6a, c’est plutot 5c/5c+

The crux was crazy! Ended up skipping the eighth clip

Rechappe après 7 points (environ 15m)

Not sure if I followed the right clips. Seemed to zig zag a bit. If it was right then it was definitely not 6a
