On the Lot Causses, the horizon is far, relief seems low, but the rivers have cut these trays have built formidable limestone cliffs for rock climbers! Especially along the Lot at its confluence with the Célé around Rocamadour and the circus Autoire (basin of the Dordogne).

Magic sites, which were fitted by enthusiasts affiliated with the French Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing with reliable equipment to meet current standards.

The luxury of Lot is that thanks to the geography of its rivers, which flow from east to west, meandering undulating, or drawing circles, it has walls oriented at all exposures: some sectors such as Autoire, The Pescalerie or (Célé), and adapt very well to climbing summer because of sun protection in summer, warm considerably limestone plateaux ...

Conversely, we can go climbing in winter on the faces most exposed to the south, as Arcambal (Lot Valley) or Cougnaguet (Valley Ouysse).

Careful to observe the seasonal bans on certain walls, preservation of fauna and flora is in practice ....
