It is a natural viewpoint, not suitable for people with vertigo, from where we can see a great panorama of the historic Priory, the Sierra de la Gritella and the Sierra de Llaberia. It is accessed from the Morera de Montsant by the Grau dels Barrots. This Degree, of access to the Serra Major, presents some technical difficulties since at some point it has to climb through some bars nailed to the rock. From the steep path we will have to pass over a stone embedded in the crack that separates the rock from the cliff, with the help of an iron railing. This is a point of extraordinary beauty, which will allow us to access the Sierra Mayor from where we can discover the park through the network of signposted paths.

Once we reach the foot of the cliff, we follow it, the path is flat and quite narrow. We reach a very shady canal, we go uphill. In the middle of the canal there is a rock that may offer some difficulty in overcoming it. We climb to the left. We are at the beginning of the section that gives its name to the grade (there is a commemorative plaque on the wall on our left). the right, making a route of about 3 or 4 meters. Care must be taken when taking care of the amount of loose stone. Once over the obstacle we continue through the middle of the canal and when we reach the end, a narrow rock relief on the left will allow us to leave the canal. We will now go through the rock embedded in the canal, which we used to pass under, with the help of some nailed irons. Before passing it is worth continuing along the relief on the right that will take us to a balcony with spectacular views.
