La Coulée de Sainte-Paule – Sainte-Paule
This training site currently has 7 routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.9. Many can be lead-climbed using trad gear. The cracks are solid and well-formed, and the wall is full of diverse holds. Follow the small stream at the base of the wall to reach a pond formed by a huge beaver dam. It's a scenic spot well worth the trip.
