Circuit description
This virtual circuit (and sometimes painted, as it is the case in Spring 2009) is located in a quiet sector of Rocher Canon. The most convenient access consists in following La Route du Laisser Courre and take La Route des Monts du Faÿ for 400m to the right at its crossing. The start of the circuit is then on a big boulder to the right. Most of the problems are traverses and it is also possible to reach them from the main area.
