Overview |
 |
Want
five days of climbing on sun drenched rock in the
south of France? Who doesn't. This course is run
on demand throughout the summer. It is priced by
the day and run at a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. |
|
We
stripped everything out of the price to keep it
low, so all that you are paying for is the Guiding.
|
|
You
need to budget for local accommodation for you and
the Guide, but this is very cheap. For the experience
of climbing with some of the most talented Guides
in the world, you will not find a cheaper course.
|
|
There
is no fixed itinerary, so you arrive and leave on
whatever days you choose. In between you climb wherever
the weather is best, and in the evenings you can
eat the great local food, and enjoy a bottle or
two of the regional wine. Not a bad combination. |
|
Dates: Run on demand from
April through to November each year for one or two
people booking together. If you prefer one of our

Jean-Luc
is a local Guide and has worked with Icicle for
over eight years. He is hugely respected in the
Chamonix valley due to his expedition exploits
in the Himalayas, though rock climbing is his
real passion. Jean-Luc knows both the Provence
and Calanques regions very well, and will be able
to select really interesting climbs for you at
whatever grade you climb (if you have any specific
routes you wish to climb, let us know). Apart
from when he is guiding, he visits the regions
at the end of every season.
