Buoux

The picturesque village of Buoux lies in Southern France, in the mountains of Luberon. It is thanks to the impressive walls in the valley of Aiguebrun that the small town became one of the most important sport climbing areas in the world: the rock faces are up to 150 metres high. The limestone rock has everything that climbers might wish for: splendous plates and powerful overhangs, holes and strips. Ambitious climbers will find a collection of legendary routes. In the 1970s and 1980s, French sport climbing history was written here. Some of the most important routes were the 150 metres high „Pilier des Fourmis” (7a+), „Choucas”  (8a+) and „La Rose et le Vampire“ (8b) by Antoine le Menestrel, „Le Minimum” (8c) by his brother Marc and „Acincourt” (8c) by Ben Moon.
