The routes

Difficult multi-pitch climb up the Roi de Siam granite tower, located directly in front of the Petit Capucin. Established ground-up, the climb takes a line in the center of the face, between the 1989 Petit Capoussin climb and the classic Boccalatte...

Fabulous 7a+ multi-pitch, one of the best and most photographed in the Verdon Gorge, first ascended in 1981 by Jean Marc Troussier. After a gentle first two pitches the route kicks in with a technical 7a+ crux, to finish in...
