France - Doubs

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.

Sous Buen is a pleasant crag in a beautiful location overlooking the Doubs. It has single pitch routes in all grades from 3 to 8, up to 30m in length, many with the name written at the bottom. It is well bolted, has easy access,and as a result is very popular. Some of the older routes are polished, which can be a problem on hot days. There are however many newer routes still in good condition, and the crag gets the shade in the afternoon. There are not so many routes in the very hard grades, but the tough grading makes up for this!
