The rock climbing on these limestone sea cliffs varies enormously from single pitch sport routes, long multi-pitch routes up to 250m long, to traverses along the sea edge and deep water soloing (DWS). The style of climbing has everything from technical slabs, steep climbing on the sea’s edge, to steep overhangs in caves across a wide range of grades. In fact at Les Calanques there are around 2,500 bolted sport routes and around 1,000 traditional routes.

The coordinates and our default picture are from the Calanque of Port Miou in Cassis. The pictures of the climbers were taken during a boat tour of the Calanques.
