How to get there

Park at the Balcony Gournier on the gorge road. Walk along the road (heading back towards Vallon). Take the track down to the Bivouac under a bridge. At the first sharp right hand turn take the path on the left, follow this to some cliffs and a entrance 3m high 5m wide which closes down to a flat out crawl before emerging in a finely decorated chamber.

Equipment

1st pitch 50m 6 spits 2nd 60m 6 spits 3rd 80m 8 spits Lac 40m 8 spits 4 slings

Description

At the rear of the chamber is the start of the first pitch. Note all pitches are rigged on spits and threads (additional cord recomended), no P hangers (2018) At the bottom of the 3rd pitch a climb down near to the bottom of the pitch leads to the base of a steep slope, on the left is a rift with a U bend, in 2018 we found this to be sumped.
