When would you like to go (camping wise…)? There are many campgrounds in and around Chamoniw, but right now it’s not the best season to sleep under the tent, though I’ve seen a bunch of people sleeping in caravans on the campground under teh Aiguille du Midi téléphérique…
The Gaillands crag might be in the Escalade dans la Vallée de l’Arve book, but this must be confirmed by someone else here.

Little crags in Chamonix valley : yes.
If you want to climb long routes in the Aiguilles Rouges and in Mont-Blanc massif : no.
If you want to climb on limestone near Chamonix, you have to buy « Vallées de l’Arve et du Risse ».
