Back to Alliat
Headed back to Alliat today as a) it’s shady and b) it’s by far the best limestone crag we’ve found around here, and amongst the best I’ve climbed on anywhere! […]
Alliat, Le Carol and Pereille
The last few day’s climbing has been focused on seeking out shade – how crazy is that, in late October in the Pyrenees? Alliat is a stupendous crag with some […]

Sinsat
Back to the limestone and an initial foray to Sinsat. The upper crags here look awesome (see panorama) but we left those for a future trip. The lower tier crags […]

Vergisson
Perched above the vineyards of Pouilly near Macon, Vergisson provides outstanding outlook, some decent climbing and one outstanding route – Verite at the back of a natural”tube” feature. Unreal! 26C […]
