Just west of Nice, and just inland of the Med lies the Massif de l'Esterel. A plug of Rhyolite is surrounded by forest, and broken into a series of cliffs perfect for climbing. A real change from the surrounding limestone.

This guide covers 13 sites and around 500 routes from 4a to 7c+. Most of the routes are in the amenable 5a to 6a range and bolt protected. Scattered among these are just a few trad routes, so take your rack too.

A superb dual language guide to an area rarely visited by the Brits, somewhere different for that sunrock trip.
