Verdon Gorge.

The quaint village of Sisteron, an hour's drive south of Ceuse.

Pont du Arc in the Ardeche Gorge. Definitely some DWS potential....

East Face, Grand Capucin, Swiss Route left skyline, Voi Petit right side.

Paul Lanz at Boux in the late 80's.

The classic Mer de Glace face of Aiguille du Grepon (not the "petit" one in CO). You can see the Envers hut just left of center on the lower rock rib.

The beautiful pocketed sandstone of Buoux. Home to such routes as Chouca, 8a+, Le Rose et le Vampire, 8b, & Agincourt, 8c, as well as countless classic moderates.

The cliffs above Orpierre offer an abundance of moderates, though the rock is not quite as good as at the more famous French crags.

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.

Areas of France

Mt Blanc du Tacul, East Face: Deep, sun-shade, center is Super Coulior. Jeager Coulior on right.

Mt Blanc, Mt Maudit, East Face, Kuffner Ridge center.

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>

Scrambling around in France. North of Avignon. Photo by Mom in 2017 or 2018.

On the way to Chamonix

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.

Volx. The rock is remeniscent of Sitting Bull Falls, NM.

Limestone everywhere (and thus routes everywhere) but the power lines are off route! Pont Mirabeau, France. July 2009.

Magnifique Ceuse
