climbing guidebook Escalades au Thaurac

Climbing area not far from Montpellier. The plateau of Thaurac rises to about 480m, in the valley flows the Herault at 130m.
The guidebook, reissued in 2023, now describes a total of 1003 routes in all directions and difficulty levels (46 routes up to 4; 195 up to 5c+; 423 between 6a and 6c+; 280 up to 7c+; and 67 routes between 8a and 8c+). Particularly rewarding about this scenic climbing area is the fact that, in addition to the best established single pitches, there are also many perfectly established multi-pitches up to 120 meters.

The guide offers very readable topos on good color photos. For the individual routes there is information on length, orientation and quality. Very helpful is the index of all included routes, sorted by difficulty. So you have a quick overview of the distribution of all possible routes of the area to the individual sectors.
