Gorges du Tarn re-bolting
June 13, 2012, 10:15:00 am
Just got back from the Tarn and it seems the re-bolting campaign is very much still in progress.

Sectors De Que Fas Aqui, Figues au Cul, Club House, Hollandaise were all fully open.

Sector Tennessee: The 3 right-most routes (rockfax and local guide) were open, the Ailes du Desir cave is open (Court Metrage to Tennessee), everything else was closed.

All of sector Le Naivre was closed, Tresor du Zebre was in progress.

When I say closed, the first few bolts were missing and there was a small 'no-entry' sign on the first bolt stub.

We didn't go anywhere other than the sectors mentioned. We did however go to Le Boffi and Gorge de la Jonte, both are excellent venues and all the routes we did were awesome.

I'm afraid not, but apparently it hasn't changed much since last october so I wouldn't be too optimistic. Also, a local ex-pat in Les Vignes seemed a bit disillusioned, saying "they need to pull their finger out" or some such.

Two weeks ago the bolting was in full swing so I would imagine its all been finished now. At the time they looked to be completing a crag every 2/3 days.
