The Crag near Audun-le-tiche, bearing the same name as the town is situated in a decomissioned limestone quarry, that was closed in the early 1900s.
Routes go from 3 to 7c and vary from 6-18m in length with most lying around 10m. There are quite a few easy routes making it a perfect crag for less experienced or strong climbers.
Climbing is mostly vertical and slabby with lots of cracks, crimps and slopers.
!ROCKFALL POSSIBLE HELMET RECOMMENDED AT ALL TIMES!
Romans had already been using the quarry and rocks from here can be found in a 50 km radius. It was closed in the early 1900s, only in the late 70s/early 80 it was visited in search of caves and later also used for caving training.
In the early/mid 80 the first climbing routes were bolted, for top-rope climbing only. In 1986 around 20 routed were bolted for lead climbing. The early 90s more routed were added and the newest routes date back to 2003.
Organisations such as MJCA were responsible for the first routes, later CSEB and CEET also added routes.
