Already for the fourth time this year, I’ve been on my favourite climbing place, the goerges of Verdon.
After a summer of hard mutipitchclimbing on vertical style, I was really psyched to do some sportclimbing on overhanging walls. A perfect place for doing that, is on the huge cave on ‘rive gauche’ where I also climbed ‘la Ramirole’ and ‘Ultime démence’ two years ago.
The style was exactely what I was searching for: Huge tufas, steep and overhanging lines, kneebars…well, Cédric and me, we quickly realised that our muscles were defently not more used for this kind of climbing. The first two days we were hanging on these roofs like fat couws and it was like a comedy show to see us climbing!;-)
Well, after a good day of rest, we finally did some routes with help of our hand made knee protections (before that, it was too paintfull to make some kneebars…) I did an 8b+ le Feu au cult and Cédric another 8c.
The gorges of Verdon is such a fantastic place. There you can find all kind of climbing, the ambiance es just unique and the smell of the ‘Provence’ makes me dreaming every time when I’m there….
