Three 12-metre columns, cut with deep cracks, for learning every rock-climbing technique.

Three sprayed-concrete monoliths, 12 metres high, 170 m² of climbable surface. They were designed to teach every rock-climbing technique.

What sets them apart: deep cracks of all sizes, and a structure whose shapes serve as holds in their own right. Climbers can place cams and nuts, which only concrete allows, not wood or resin. Here, they prepare for adventure climbing before heading to the mountains.
