Description
The Calanques climbing guidebook (new English version)
We spent so many years working on this collection of information, tracking the original routes… so many months climbing up the numerous trad or bolted routes…
This guidebook is a large selection of climbing routes in the Calanques. It is the continuation of the previous guidebooks published by the CT13 FFME. We tried hard to meet several criteria: publish a guidebook in a single volume, provide a description of the Calanques that is as thorough as possible, meet climbers’ expectations and preferences, and arouse interest in all types of climbing. That is why we chose to present several new areas that were not described in previous guidebooks.
This guidebook is not exhaustive when compared with a collection of 10 complete guidebooks that were published a while ago by Alexis Lucchesi.
We cannot claim to be exhaustive because anyone can find traces of climbing or equipment on any cliff, even unexpected ones. Climbers are more modest than we can imagine, and some climbers who discover new routes do not feel the need to shout it from the rooftops! For the topographer, the collection and verification of information is a real vocation.
