L'Hortus - Cheminée Arnal 2

General Access

(Google Map) Drive to Saint Mathieu de Tréviers then on the road to Saint Martin de Londres, you will see the cliff on the right.

2 options :

• Take a good track on the right and park at the end of it. From here reach the base of the cliff and go left to the Arnal chimney. Climb the Chimney (Good old 5th grade - 3 pitches - 100m). The highline crosses the chimney (45mn).

• Take the right road direction “Les Camps”, park as soon as possible on the right. Then walk on the crest of l’Hortus until you find the characteristic gap of the Arnal Chimney (a bit after the summit of the cliff) 45mn

Where?

The Arnal chimney is the most charateristic and bigger gap of the whole cliff. One side of the line is on the crest (good platform), the other side reaches the cliff.

Linking

Turn around the gap with the webbing, gently fighting with trees. No big deal.

Rigging

Pulley system perfect on the platform side. Make sure to protect the webbing and pulleys from scratches with a bag or a pad on this side.

This line is the biggest you can do in the chimney. It is not exposed at all and very aesthetic.
