Rockfax France : Haute Provence

© Rockfax

The latest Rockfax guidebook France : Haute Provence is now available. The crag line-up for this one is impressive - Céüse, Saint Léger and Buoux lead the list, with Orpierre, Dentelles de Montmirail and the superb Buis-les-Baronnies crags as the supporting cast. One of the most impressive collections of sport climbing venues ever lined up in one book.

Selected to give something for everyone, even a quick glance at the contents of this book proves that there's a huge amount of brilliant climbing to go for whatever one's ability. Whether you're seeking the ultimate physical climbing challenge, or happy to soak in the scenery while enjoying pitch after pitch of flawless rock, expertly bolted all the way to a natural summit, it's all waiting for you.

For climbers in northern Europe looking for a week of winter sun, this is a destination that doesn't necessarily require flying, all the areas covered in this guidebook are no more than an hour away from a train station in a major town.

Presented in the universally praised Rockfax style, the books gives the reader with clear landscape photos of each crag, never-before-seen close-up photo-topos, and a wealth of action photos taken specifically for the book. Whether you're planning your trip from home, or choosing your next route at the crag, this guide has everything you're looking for: from inspiration to perspiration.

Nice job, and Monty might notice we have changed the colour of the route lines to make them easier to see! Chris

Really...! That's great. Thanks chaps. I hope the other 99.9% of the population can see them as well... I did mention to Alan in an email when he sent me a sample of the new lines, that the most striking example of not being able to see red on grey was the front of my old Pembroke guide - I couldn't even see my own name! I'll upload a scan - see what you make of it...

We are using the same system for the North Wales Classics book now as well, and it does make the lines a lot clearer, they are also thinner though which means you get a little more crag detail too. I did notice that Grimer has been using the two-tone route lines since his first BMC books, so it isn't really an innovation we can claim. Alan
