Hi All I am looking for partners to climb with in the South of France. I live in Antibes, have transport, gear etc... and can be available on the weekends. With some knowledge of the climbing here, I am up for most types of climbing; trad, sport, bouldering and am currently climbing in the 5:11s on lead.
Nice place for a home base! Probably you know this, but you might also try posting on UKClimbing, quite a lot of British climbers head to your part of the world pretty frequently. Bonne chance!
My wife and I and a few friends will be in the South of France May 20-26. We'll be staying in Nice. I am the only climber of the group (my wife is pregnant so she can't climb), but I'd love to get out for a day if you are around! I climb 5:11s on sport, and 5:9 on trad (could follow higher). I won't be able to bring much gear (probably just shoes and harness), but if you have gear I'd love to go.
Right now our only definite is hitting Verdon Gorge, but I'd be happy to climb anywhere within a day trip distance from Nice if there is anything you recommend.
Great to hear from you and sorry for the slow reply... I can get out for a day on Sunday the 20th if you are free, alternatively (subject to a work trip to London) I can take a day off on Friday the 25th. Please feel free to email me directly on matthew.murison@gmail.com or call me on +33(0)6 14 31 35 23.
