After a long time of hearing about this area located in the Haute Provenze and playing of Les Gorges du Verdon, we wanted to visit, we had explained everything, "nothing to envy Bleau, great, less people, etc, etc" so as the summer holidays were shorter than normal for the birth of our daughter, we wanted to maximize the days we would spend outside, and we were advised that it was a good place to go with children, and had every reason , allowing you to combine scale and family life both in boulder areas like sport climbing areas.

 

Our little trip lasted 10 days accompanied by Leti, Oscar and the little Guillem, the early days-trip joined Aleix and Josep Malo, which made me frantic pace of climb, climb and climb was of an intensity I loved it, being aware that the day they march this rate would drop, so had to take the last few days but could not or my soul.

 

10 days two were traveling between the round trip taking it easy to go with small, and six climbing since the seventh and said water will not stop for a day of rain, luckily it was the penultimate day, if it does not give me anything.

 

On comparisons, Bleau Bleau is, and Annot is different, it is true that has sectors that could well be as Bleau, as Le Paf le chien, Le Crete, etc, others might well resemble our Querica the Shire, other to alguan Cogul area and even a touch more abrasive the rock or grain Savassona Fussimanya fat as it all depends on the height you have decided to choose the area for climbing higher against the rock quality is more good but in all sectors there is everything, and everyone has their jewelry, I will try to recommend problems, this time there is no video of the trip, each day loaded with all the photo and video equipment but such was the fanaticism for climbing and just enjoy This trip I decided to not record anything and it has.

 

We have done almost everything, galore boulder that was the idea, climbing poquita but enough to stay with a good taste in the mouth and want to come back, and I miss out all Cacharreria for traditional climbing and more each day after skimming the guide, but good as I've decided that will open time for everything.

This first day we waited for the arrival of Aleix and Poor so when they came to such heat that the best thing was to go to the river that is in the same camping La Ribiere, spent part of the afternoon there until we decided it was time to go climbing, building I was in a river with millions of cobble stones was time to create another ephemeral work of many I've been doing here there.

 

While the rest slept in the shade of the river and Guillem was dedicated to cross the river and play with their stones I played with mine, here are some photos taken by Leti small work done in a couple of hours were a total of eight sculptures, leaving the water in balance and struggling against the current of the river, until it all came back at night to the place from which it came, caused by a small increase in the flow rate would have been nice to do a timelapse of the entire process.

This pleasant area we visited about three days, and always enjoying an ideal temperature, someday rub the 10th, you better go punch his blocks well worth it:
