Good to know before you go

  • Wear a helmet, at the foot of the crag as well as on the route: rockfall is the main hazard outdoors.
  • Before every climb, do a buddy check: tie-in knot, harness, belay device and locked karabiner.
  • Buy the crag's guidebook: sales often pay for route upkeep and bolting.
