Aid climbing

Posted as guest by Harry:

Hi, I’m looking for information on the aid routes in the Gorge du Verdon, there is some information on here but I cant find much. Are there any guidebooks which will have all of the routes in?

Thanks, Harry.

The french guidebook from the Gorges du Verdon might have some of them (the most interesting) if not all.

All the guidebooks are here : /books/list/bnam/verdon/act/4
the last edition is this one : /books/107025/fr/verdon-2010

The aid climbing routes will be rated P3 (to be largely completed) or P4 (nothing in the route). Here is the list of these routes : /routes/list/snam/verdon/act/4/prat/>12/orderby/rnam/order/asc

Other climbers here might be way more helpful than I am… they just have to go through this forum… :wink:

On the promo-grimpe page, you will find a useful topo : http://www.promo-grimpe.com/topos_pdf/artif_verdon.pdf.
Useful but old too so not up to date : you will have to cross check infos.
