after considering céuse, verdon, berdorf, FJ and Baume les Dames, it seems that my next mini sport trip (in a week) will be in tarn.
and i've never been there, so ukb forum memebers might be more knowleadgeble than me.
i'd like to fill in three kinds of ticklists:
1)redpoints. 8a to 8b. This ideally must be short and intense affairs. ideally 10 to 20 moves of bussiness, no rests, with easier "can't fall off" terrain above and below. Or two, max three shorter crux sections in the middle of "can't fall off nor get pumped" climbing. The kind of climbs that would get labelled as "long endurance affairs" in FJ but fall in the "bouldery" category at céuse.
Anything fitting this description outside of Gullich and Oasif? And in these two sectors, which are the real gems at the grade?
2)enjoyable moderates. 60 meter jugfest 7a/bs? Anything beautiful, remarkable and enjoyable 6a to 7b really, regardless of lenght and style. Just no choss, no sharp unexpected cruxes, nothing that would leave me unexpectedly trashed.
3)Challenging onsights. 7b/c. Ideally, a few 5-10 moves sections with clearly defined "clip and chalk" semi-rests in between. A bit céuse-like if you see what i mean.
cheers!
