Sport climbing in August in Europe
|
Hi- |
|
What about Spain? |
|
I think Spain would be way too hot. We were in Costa Blanca in the beginning of June and it was too hot to climb hard. Do you know of any cooler sport climbing? |
|
CEUSE!!! |
|
In France, there's a few spots in the Vercors that might be doable in August. Kid friendly, too. Lans-en-Vercors, Corrençon, a few spots outside of Grenoble (huge pile of climbing there). Some info on this site for some of that stuff. |

Check out Stewart Greens rock climbing europe, its a great resource! |
|
Check out Tournoux near Briancon. Not huge but really cool. |

Do you know of any cooler sport climbing?Well here in Spain in Summer ...... sport climbing mainly ..... cooler place than white coast ... it´s dificult to find. May be Pedriza (Madrid, or small places in the North. Pyrinees mainly. Perhaps Dent D´orlu in Pyrinees ... long routes (several pitches), different leves and I think that you´ll find bolts on almost all the routes. There is one, pilier sud, 1000 mts 6a+ at the south face. Or another place in France .... (Sorry about my english, I´m learning step by step) |

Yup! I highly recommend you make your way to Nuremberg, Germany. The town is amazing in itself and is known as the toy capital of Europe, so thats a great start for the kids. |
