The rocks of the commando training center in Marche-Les-Dames are in fact part of the vast dolomite formation that also contains the nearby climbing site of Beez (topo coming soon by CAB).
Part of the over 160 routes here are often used for military training purposes and are quite polished (often the easier routes).
Nevertheless, the vast majority of the routes here offer very interesting and often vertical and strenuous climbing.
🧗♀️
The Foquet sector is known for its multipitch climbs in an impressive surrounding.
Moustache is a recently developped sector, wrongly ignored by many climbers, as is the Toit Heylen, facing the Moustache.
Tarzan is a classical initiation sector, whereas Crombez is the heart of the climbing site, with some hard routes. The Refuge is a cozier cliff, whereas Château is sometimes considered as an outdoor climbing gym.
Amphie and Mess offer more adventurous climbing.

The area is access sensitive!
🗓
The commando training center of Marche-Les-Dames is situated in a military zone, and is therefore only accessible for Belgian citizens, and only during the weekends (as, during the week, the rocks are used for military training).
🛂
To enter the site, one must pass by the sentry post and submit a Belgian passport as well as a membership card of a Belgian climbing federation.
🚗 🚶♂️
From the crossroad connection between Rue Reine Elisabeth and Rue du Roi Chevalier, go up the Rue Notre Dame du Vivier. The entry post is after 200 m to the left. The entrance is only on foot.
