Given the nature of the rock, each of these routes requires good footwork and smearing the soles of the shoes in order to find balance and stability. Controlled, measured movements to ensure a satisfying climb.
There is a flat area at the base of the great wall with some benches and tables which are ideal for a picnic between one route and the next.
The start of each route is marked with a plaque with the name and level of difficulty – which is perfectly normal, except that here they are also written in Braille! Baone is the first bolted crag in the world accessible to the disabled and the approach is also specially designed with tactile maps along the different routes which also makes climbing possible for the visually impaired and blind.
