I’m starting to think about end of summer plans and Verdon gorge has been raised as an option.
The guidebook is on its way in the post but I’ve had a thought about the possibility of combining it with a river trip.
Initial thoughts are a day travelling on the river (kayak/pack raft), set up camp at or near a crag, a day’s climbing, back on the river the following day, repeat.
Looking at Google earth and photos/videos of the gorge from both climber’s and boater’s perspectives it seems some areas are right at the river and others (L’Escales looks particularly appealing) will require a bit of bush whacking and scrambling up scree.
I’ve not been able to find any info about the feasibility of climbing from the river and curious if anyone here has done it (or has simply climbed but had a wander down to the river) and can offer advice on the access of crags from the river rather than abbing in from the top?
