Verdon calling


Back on the road again, we headed to Verdon to tick La Demande once more. the dodgy forecast put us off so we climbed La Derobee (6b, 5 pitches) instead. The following day we went for a team ascent with Natalie of an easier route L'Herbietto (10 pitches, 5b). We knew bad weather was on it's way...the storm clouds gathered and before we knew it we had a collection of hail stones in our chalk bags with lightening and thunder all around us. We climbed the last few pitches super fast and retreated to a cave to hide until the weather passed and we could get back to the car. Great adventure!!!
