14 metres of hand-sculpted concrete, tinted the colour of the surrounding rock.

Sculpting concrete is an art: we do it by hand. The colour of this monolith is that of the rock in the landscape, so that it belongs to the place.

The piece offers 16 routes of various grades, for schools as well as for climbers in training. Its 14 metres let young climbers get used to height. Some routes follow cracks: you can climb without any artificial hold, using only the shapes of the monolith.
