Verdon, You Rule

Camille and the batmobile have returned!


And this is where we got to climb...


The climbing was awesome and the exposure was even better! We stuck to climbing mostly single pitch but since we were above the cliff, we needed to rappel down to the start of each climb. The sector we went to was right off the road, next to an overlook. This means that we are going to be in hundreds of photo albums of tourists. 



The free camping spots in La Palud were perfect. 


More climbing...



The hiking in the Gorge was also really nice. Such a surreal place!




We climbed a few multipitch​ routes as well. Spaced out bolts and old school sandbagging of grades ensured that it was always an adventure!


On our last day in the gorge we rented a kayak for a nice change of sport. The water was an incredible color and the cliffs were impressive as always. 

And I took a selfie?!?! What am I turning into??



We are now leaving the gorge and making our way towards the Alps. We're hoping the weather improves in the mountains by time we arrive!
