BUTHIERS - MALESHERBES

Orange circuit - 44 Blocs

Blue circuit - 40 Blocs

There are two completely separate areas in the vicinity of Buthiers. The most popular sector is the Massif L'i, which is just adjacent to a large swimming pool. The sector has 4 good circuits of Orange, blue, red and Black. Half of this area is low and really jovial, yet the other half is host to some of the most outrageous highballs you will find. An excellent place for a mixed group.

The Canard sector - as illustrated in the photo, is a jumble of very large blocks, and has a very sandy nature. There are three circuits here of a yellow, blue and black (one of the classics of the forest). This is very highball, and in some cases - the problems are even graded for a top rope, since the landings are crazy. It's a generally quiet area, but offers some very good climbing-bouldering for those with a steady head.
