climbing guidebook Le Destel

The Destel Gorge is not only of scenic beauty, but also of interest to climbers due to its class offer of limestone walls. The gorge, cut up to 200 m deep, stretches north starting from Ollioules up to Le Broussan, in the hinterland of Toulon. Just when you get off the longer tours, the immediate proximity reveals the Mediterranean Sea. Together with green pine forests and white limestone walls - a great contrast.
There are 270 single pitches in 19 sectors, followed by 62 multi-pitch routes in another 10 sectors, between 3 and 8 pitches, with a maximum of 200 climbing meters! All in very good protection. All together you get 800 single pitches in the gorge, enough for a few enjoyable climbing days near the Cote d`Azur.
The difficulties of the short routes are in almost all grades, those of the multi-pitches, however, rather (only) in the moderate range of the 5th and 6th French. Degree.
The climbing guide is richly illustrated and super. The topos and site plans are served on the typical Fenouil watercolors. All areas and tours are described in detail.
In addition, the guide describes and recommends for the non-climbing days 6 hikes and 2 canyon tours.
