Faces N
Single and multi-pitch routes on beautiful limestone. Faces north, so nice and cool during summer months. Popular summer training venue for mountain climbs this side of the region: there are rope-equipped traverses (Rampe des Commères) allowing for escapes from some routes. Other sport sectors are accessible with short walks from the road leading up.
The large North face of Toulon's iconic Mont Faron (584m). Take the one way road which leads to the summit (or for even more scenic alternative take the cable car then follow directions to the Zoo or the summit). Park just before the zoo or 150m further. Reach the North face by following a dirt path heading East to the large water tank (Citerne). On the low wooden rail spot indications to step over and climb down to the moat (ropes and bars are in place). Then, follow a rocky path headed east. Some multi-pitch routes start on your right in the trees. Further along, after some strange car carcasses, is a lovely collection of upper mid-level sport routes on white limestone (Ici l'Ombre). All route names indicated in paint at the bottom of the routes. There are a few other good sport venues dotted around the west and south faces of the Mont Faron.
