In French , "pilon" literally means pestle or cleaving hammer . In a geographical context, it often refers to a rocky peak or stone lookout , sometimes also to a pole, column or cross monument on a hilltop. It can also indicate a stone pilgrim monument , often at symbolic sites.
Le Pilon is 404 metres high and Le St-Pilon 442 metres. Further east lies Pic du Cap Roux with a height of 454 metres.
For climbing enthusiasts, the climb of Le Pilon is a challenge : it has the highest difficulty level in the sector. It is quite short, you have to climb twice on a rope without any facilities on site.
