Verdon in October

(1/2) > >>

Aussiegav:
Exploring an idea to go to Verdon around 30 October to 6 November this year.
Is this a good time to go?

Also never been before, is it easy to meet people to climb with?

jwi:
That is pretty much the end of the season for Verdon. The gorge will be quite empty. You could have some glorious but short days.  I have never been in Verdon without a partner, so I would not know, but there will not be a lot of climbers there at that time.

mrjonathanr:
From (very distant) experience- what jwi said. Potential for great crisp conditions though. Cold at night.

Aussiegav:
Thanks JWI & MrJ.
Back to the drawing board/calendar.
Definitely want to get a trip there, sample the fear, quality routes and beauty in equal abundance

ali k:
I’ve been in November before when there was frost on the ground and it was absolutely mint conditions on the wall. Caveat being we only did routes that dropped in from above and then climbed out so you were in full sun the whole time. Wouldn’t have wanted to do a full bottom to top route starting out in the shade!

Oh, and there were no other climbers around.
