We liked this/these route(s) : Super Pilier (5 sup) ; Hêtre ou ne pas être (6a) ; GDB (6b)
Further information(s) : As part of the rehabilitation of the area by the FFME Departmental Committee, new routes have emerged in particular with the creation of "multi pitches routes" in west face. You can now reach the top of the Roche Corbière from the "chemin des acqueducs" 90 m higher up in 5 lengths. Major area for the region allowing sports climbing a bit confusing but quality.
"Mur des jambons" offers a nice boulder problem :)
