Baume les Dames - Quint
A large, important crag with many routes, especially in the harder grades. It predominately faces south, although the angular nature of the crag means that many buttresses are in the shade either early morning or late afternoon, and some of the steeper ones in the shade all day! It is located above the Doub in a very peaceful and scenic setting and has many long pitches of 30m and above. It is popular, so many of the routes are polished, and grades can sometimes feel tough.
From Baume les Dames follow the D683 in the direction of Séchin and Roulans. After just over 2 km you reach a roundabout, turn left here and go past the Intermarché. At the time of writing a new road was under construction next to the supermarket, either follow this, or the larger road to turn right onto Rue des Champvans, which leads down onto Champs sur les Rochers and a parking spot next to the Doubs. Park and walk upstream (East) along the Doubs cycle track for 5 minutes until a track leads up past a small building to the crag. About 10 minutes from the car.
