Description

Climbing is a great source of pleasure and sensations. An activity in itself, it is also the founding basis for other areas such as ice climbing, mixed mountaineering and rocky terrain. And when you try it's hard to stop…especially in les Gorges du Verdon !

Climbing in les Gorges du Verdon is probably one of my favourite activities. Maybe the most beautiful cliffs in Europe. A place where exceptional rock and great atmosphere are combined. Come ans see, you climb there like nowhere else.

The main roads are a little trip. Each with its characteristic mixture of pleasure and discovery, in addition to physical improvement. The routes range from 100 to 400 meters high and are for all levels, expert or initiation (from 3a to 8a)

Each cliff offers introductory paths, perfect to learn pitch climbing.

I particularly like climbing in Verdon Gorges for the following reasons:

  • It is a very wild place;

  • There prevails an atmosphere like nowhere else;

  • The rock is exceptional and there is an incredible concentration of routes and different styles.

Here are some routes that I particularly like:

  • The herbetto 4a

  • Gray tiles 5c

  • Demand 6a +

  • The Ula 6b

  • At the very heart 6b

  • Pichenibule 6c +

  • The feast of nerves 7b

  • Mescalito 7c + – Mingus 8a

Here are some other rock climbing spots in the South of France where we can go together:

I'll take max 4 people with me. If you come with a larger group, I'll ask a friend of mine, IFMGA certified as well, to join us.

The dates are to be agreed with the participants. We can climb here all year round.

I invite you to come to this part of France where I come from and where I really appreciate guiding my friends and clients.

Mountain Guide

I was born in 1990 and I am based in Toulon. I am a high mountain guide and photographer. I started loving climbing during my youth, and I later discovered alpinism. This took me to visit many paths in the Alps, as well as expeditions. At the same time, I became a high mountain guide when I was 24 because I loved it and wanted to share my passion.
I like to travel and I offer my services in the French massifs (Mercantour, Hautes Alpes, Chamonix) and abroad (Switzerland, Italy) all year long. I will do my best to enrich your journey with my experience and to guide you to reach you dream summit.

Robin was everything you want in a guide: competent, congenial, and careful though seemingly casual. He taught my daughter to belay and allowed me to lead. He was wonderfully patient in letting us figure out a problem rather than tell us how to solve it. We had a wonderful Day 1 tackling short pitches, as I had requested. Day 2, however, was a terrible disappointment. I had asked that we spend it on a multi pitch route, and had high hopes for a challenging day out as my daughter had told Robin on Day 1 she would not be joining us. Since the forecast included rain later, Robin and I met at 7:45am. But the route, while multi pitch, was more walking/scrambling than climbing, so that we made it back to our cars in less than 2 hours. I was shocked to learn we were finished for the day. Given what I paid, this was poor value. I would not be able to recommend Explore-Share as a result.

Climbing w Robin in the Gorges Verdon area was a dream come true. Robin is a fun guide to be with. He's very knowledgeable of the routes very safe in his practice and a very strong climber who makes it look easy. We did 2 long multi pitch routes that make me want to come back again and bring my friends.
