climbing guidebook Avignon Soleil

This climbing guide describes climbing areas around Mont Ventoux, in the Avignon region of southern France. The south of France has an excellent reputation in terms of weather and of course because of its excellent limestone rocks. This topo guide presents over 1000 routes, which range in difficulty from 3a to 8c. Areas are shown on 200 color photos and the routes on over 100 color topos. Single pitches as well as multi-pitches of over 100 m are described. This guide, which is as well done as it is elaborate, contains an enormous amount of detailed information. All of this information is presented in a clear and concise manner.
Precise descriptions of how to get there, good sketches of the approaches to the individual sectors, good presentation of the topos also in sketch form - often illustrated by color photos, all other information (protection, climbing style, enjoyment factor, seriousness of the routes, orientation, children, altitude, parking, ...) as pictograms.
