Hi
I live just down the road from Ailefroide, its been wet here all day but getting back to normal good weather from tomorrow.
you asked about bailing off routes in Ailefroide, they all have bolt belays and some of the belays have lower offs, some of the bolted abs are off to the side of the routes, if you have some tat etc you should be able to come down from most belays.
andyr mention Tete d'Aval and the Tanailles de Montbrison with the Tete in the sun all day its good to do it on a cooler day, its 26 pitches of fun, also a great area is the massif des Cerces above Brainçon limestone faces and towers up to 400 meters,
cheers Rob
