Rock climbing in les Calanques, Marseille

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 climbing it’s hard to stop… Come discover with me les Calanques on its white limestone rocks along its most beautiful routes.

The number of routes in Les Calanques is impressive and each has its own specificities:

• Mythical traverse over water;
• Great way in little equipped crack;
• Modern route offering beautiful climbing days.

I especially like to go rock climbing in the Calanques of Marseille because:

• There is an environment there as there isn’t anywhere esle;
• It is a white rock that contrasts with the blue of the sea;
• I love the wildlife there and the smell of the South…;
• There are climbing routes for everyone, for every level, for every wish !

There is something for all levels from Beginner to Expert (3a to 7c) and I will define a program based on your objectives : getting the basics, become autonomous, learn the safety technics…

Here is a small selection of climbing routes that I like very much :

• Traversée Ramond 4a
• L’arête de Marseille 5b
• Traversée sans retour 5c
• Armatta Calanqua 6c
• La Coryphène 6b…

Here are some other options we can do together in the south of France:

• Cap Canaille
• Les Gorges du Verdon
• Aiglun

I usually take 4 people with me, in order to maximize the safety and my attention for each climber. We can choose the dates and duration based on your wishes. We can climb at the Calanques throughout the year. If you are larger group, I will ask a colleague of mine, IFMGA certified as well, to join us.

Contact me and let’s discuss a program that suits you. I am happy to introduce you to these exceptional places I know so well coming from that region.
