On a similar vein...Any suggestions for a ~10 pitch route, climbable in June, around the 6c/7a mark, with a relatively non-epic walk-in, that is in striking distance of someone driving from/to the uk to/from Briacon? Obviously it needs to be a three star classic in a spectacular isolated location with surprisingly convenient parking.
I wondered if any of you had done much in the Bregaglia, particularly the Bondasca valley? Piz Badile is the thing that's been mentioned previously, but I'm quite interested in some of the stuff near the Sciora hut. There appears to be some cragging up there, and also some slightly longer things like Via Di Mezzo on Torre Innominata (10 pitch 6a+) on clean granite without any snowy complications.
This looks like it could be good. 4-22 pitches which slighly extends our brief. Fairhead is the only place in the UK to make the cut, which is not unreasonable.
...Parois de Legend (except being written in English).
I flipped through it at Au vieux Campeur. Nice photos, good layout and I cannot fault the choices destinations and routes. I couldn't see the value proposition compared to Parois de Legend (except being written in English). Didn't like the topos much, and I'm pretty confident camptocamp is a better source for info on most routes in the alps and the pyrenees.
