Routes in Mur de l'ouest

Left-most climb in the section, starts above a cluster of birches, up a scramble at the left end of the cliff.

Past the first anchor is a short (2 bolt) extension up the headwall at 5.10d, to a 2nd anchor.

Crack that starts upwards then trends leftwards.

Glue-in bolts to the right of Pop Corn. The at-grade climbing is well-bolted, but the easier, though somewhat insecurem climbing above is quite run out (5m between bolts), so some small gear would be helpful.

Obvious wide (at the start) crack the heads up the face, leaning slightly left.

Climbs the face just to the right the wide crack, starting past 2 bolts.

Climb two closely-bolted overhangs to an intermediate anchor (stop here if you just want the steep stuff) or continue up the slabs (easier) to another anchor. Still lowers just fine on a 60m rope from the higher anchor.

Variant (left) finish for Cocu.

Jagged wide crack.

Farthest right route of the section.

Runs up the face left of an obvious arete, angling leftwards.

Left-most route of this section.

Next bolted route right of "Carnage d'Acier".

The thin crack - easier at the bottom, harder after the bolt at the top.

A sport-bolted direct finish to "The Cat".

Climb the steep, but juggy, crack system below the trees midway up the cliff, then after passing the trees, angle right to share the finish up the corner and anchors with "Lister".

Layback up the right-facing edges to a blocky crack system, then finish up the left-facing corner to the anchor shared with "The Cat".

Shares the start (first 3 bolts) with "Ace Rimmer", then traverse left to the roof. After pulling the roof, proceed to the thin finish.

Bolts are bit sparser than one might like.

Shares the first three bolts with "Kriten", then proceeds more directly upwards.

Nice route with 2 distinct crux. Get through the slight over hang with a second bolt, challenging to clip if you don't commit the move, to easier climbing and rest before getting to the anchor. The route is right of Roma. FQME setter and First ascent: Laurent Vachon Roy.

Belle voie avec 2 crux distincts. Traverser le léger surplomb avec la deuxième plaquette, difficile à clipper si vous ne vous engagez pas dans le mouvement, suivi d'une grimpe plus facile et un repos avant d'arriver au relais. La voie est à droite de Roma. Ouvreur FQME et First ascent: Laurent Vachon Roy.

At the far right of the sector, follow the obvious dihedral. One obvious glue-in at the start, and another shortly thereafter.

Gear, past the bolts, is generally good.
