I'm going to be down in Nice for two weeks from next wed (5th). What are the conditions like at the Gorge?

Joe, they should be good, they are having good friction with the colder weather, and everthing was dry for a month before this bit of rain. Hope you have some good climbing. Stevie

Excellent,

Hi Joe,
Some useful topos here on Syl's site:

Vie D'Ordure(7c) and Caligua(7c+) are both worth seeking out at secteur AJP at Deversé, and Mekanik Destruktiv Kommando is obligatory.
Have a good time and say hi to the Minx for me.
A.

Star!

just a little bit more info on Onda, on the day he repeated Punt X he also did Trip tonic 8c+ (massive stamina) and in the 5 day trip did a further 10 hard routes, more details on his 8a score card. So impressive I feel sick. Stevie.

I should stop being surprised when Ondra knocks over another five or six 8c+s and 9as in super quick time. But I'm not! His ticklist is just staggering. 

It's good that he seems to be taking a similar stand to Tyler when it comes to grades. By the looks of things being realistic rather than just taking the number or downgrading for the sake of it.

...hum...
It is pretty wet now 
It was raining for the last ten days... And I'm not sure that all routes are in conditions for climbing in Gorges du Loup...
