Crag features
An old quarry for grés rose, or pink quartzite, this is a small but surprisingly good quality climbing venue for those who enjoy thin slab climbing between 5 and 6c. The rock is compact pink quartzite at the bottom but becomes weathered white sandstone (hard) at the top; another band of looser red sandstone is visible at the top of neighbouring walls. Bolting is good quality and friendly, though may feel a little spaced to some. Grading is quite tough and climbs tend toward a thin and technical style (crimps and small edges!).

Approach notes
From the fishing docks, follow a path steeply though woods in the direction of Cap D'Erquy. About 15 - 25 mins (c.1km) from the street, you will begin to see quarries and come across a bigger quarry with visible lower-offs, choked with trees. The best wall is the big slab to the right (facing into the quarry).
No Access Issues
No access issues, but avoid leaving litter and using the crag as a toilet.
