Anyone got or know the whereabouts of a topo for volx? I've been searching but found nowt.
-
you will be very lucky to find one.
But it aint rocket science to find out what the routes are, there aint many.
Couple of 7a's on the left, followed by a few 7b's, then all the hard ones, then a 6b on the right of the crag and a 7a.
I think i might have an old topo lying around but would have to do some digging out of boxes.
When you need it by?
Most of the routes have the names and grades writen at the bottom anyway, and there is also a local there, or at least when I use to go climbing there.
I know you can get a guide which covers the area http://www.ffme.fr/boutique/escalade/bleone-durance.htm (http://www.ffme.fr/boutique/escalade/bleone-durance.htm)

Good find, thanks for all the help! :thumbsup:

That first one's got it's Super Plafonds and Maginot Lines mixed up by the way.

alright dpb,
you can buy the topo in one of the bars in town, or you could when i went ten years ago.
worth getting as it has loads of other sectors in. some a bit of a walk, and not super steep like the main sector, but on the whole overgraded which is always nice.
tiptoptip - we were there at the end of summer and they closed the campground office whilst we were there - no requests for payment. so may be able to camp free at this time of year.
bit of a trek without a car though, maybe an hour, but not a problem for early risers like you and si i'm sure.
highly recommend L Arche Mausée as the warm up, steep and juggy.
have fun
andy

Free camping sounds like the way forward!
Only one more cack day in the office than its pastries for breakfast n pizzas for tea with shed loads of climbing in between. :great:
