Bois du Rocher    

  • Author: Bart van Raaij

This small area is located to the East of the D64, between Arbonne and Achères, near the summit of the "17 bends hill". The main sector is located in a shady old quarry and many problems (most of them opened by Bernard Théret) are mossy.
Acces : park the car on the right at the top of the "17 bends hill" (same parking lot as for La Vallée Ronde), go down the D64 for 100m and take a small path on the right up to the first boulders, visible from the road. A few remarkable isolated boulders (including Katioushka) are accessible from the parking lot of La Vallée Chaude, 100m further.
