A group of researchers carried out a very thorough study of the engravings and the surroundings of the block "La Fresque" in Buthiers (Swimming Pool sector) and whose GERSAR (Study, Research and Safeguarding of Rock Art) A very comprehensive report in its September bulletin. As far as the climbers are concerned, it emerges that the two tracks situated on either side of the engraving (Belonging to the left and the edge to the right) lead to the reliefs of engravings being used to climb them, at the risk To deteriorate them. This is also likely to have an impact on their immediate environment, the northern panel, which has not yet been fully explored with current modern means capable of detecting remnants of engravings a few tenths of a millimeter deep. In short, we ask the climbers to forget this block which constitutes a unique and rare testimony of a past still little known. Consequently, it seems preferable to no longer climb the n ° 26 black, The Angle of the Fresco, 5+ as well as Appartenance, beautiful 7C of Christian Roumégoux. Other avenues could soon complete the picture.
