The major crag of this guidebook is of course Saint-Léger-du-Ventoux with its various sectors in all directions and over 600 routes.  The majority of the routes are in the F7 to F8 grades with a wide variety of climbing from tufas and technical vertical walls, to huge orange roofs.  This along with Mollans-sur-Ouvèze offer world-class climbing in the upper grades.
