From the car park, with our rucksacks and climbing equipment, we will approach the sector on foot for about 10 minutes along a zigzagging path that goes down to the dam and up to the wall of our climbing routes.
Climbing Activity: On this wall, we will have time to climb approximately four top rope routes and belay our partners on at least four others. Once the time has come, we dismantle the routes and organise the equipment for storage.
