climbing guidebook Escalade Plaisir Alpes du Sud, Provence

This guide focuses on climbing "big routes" (height 100 to 400 meters) in difficulty grades 4b to 6b max, 4a to 6a mandatory with easy access.
All selected routes offer good rock climbing, mostly well equipped or easy to belay. Each route is described in detail (text and sketches) so that the climber, well informed about the route, can enjoy the atmosphere and the route.
This updated 3rd edition describes 200 multi-pitch routes, all climbed by the author in the following massifs: Baronnies, Briançonnais, Écrins (Ailefroide), Queyras, Ubaye, Argentera, Mercantour, Verdon and Calanques de Marseille.
With a sound knowledge of French, it is easy to get to grips with these fantastic, long trails in the southern (French) Alps as well as Provence. The route is discussed very extensively in its individual pitches, its approach as well as its descent. The text is flanked by a (mostly) full-page topo (graphic). 2 larger photo "chapters" illustrate the beauty of the rocks and paths, which one may enjoy.
