Blimey! Straight into a 50-meter-high, vertical to overhanging section (K5-) - the forearms get pumped immediately! Once you're sufficiently 'broken in' the steepness starts to decrease. A rope bridge leads into a cave (Gouffre de Niton, aka Grotto à Lemmy) - here you can benefit from short (or longer) break. The next bit requires courage and strength (K5-) before slackening off again (though arm strength is repeatedly needed on the following diagonal ramp which leads up to a grassy band, which leads then down and up to a junction. You may either finish through a vertical corner ("échappatoire", 40 m) - between the 1st of May and the 1st of July you must use this exit as the harder variation is closed due to breeding birds. Otherwise, if you're up for the challenge, descend along the grassy band, then climb up a slab, move diagonally to the left over another, exposed slab to a daunting overhang (K5 +). The end is reached at about 1990 meters.
