The legendary Southern crag of Orgon. Home to numerous ground-breaking routes such as Bronx, one of the first 8c+ (14c) routes in the world. Remeniscent of the Wasteland at Rifle, but taller and wider, with more routes.

Grandes Jorasses. The Walker Spur is the steep face on the left skyline. The right-most spire is the Dent du Geant.

The backside of the 'Pic de Bure' massif (2709m/8887ft) in the Dévoluy, as seen from the climbing area 'le secteur ultra secret'. The 'Pic de Bure' is host to some adventurous 20 pitch limestone trad routes... <br>

Crazy winter sunset with the massif of Céüse in the middle. This was one of the most awesome sunsets that I have witnessed...I took this photo with my point and shoot on the autimatic mode. Other photos of this sunset were in the local paper the next day!

The place to go when climbing at the Verdon Gorge - say hello to Sabine and Michel.
