Presles (again)

We are leaving here tomorrow (Sunday) to head for Orpierre, which is a bit further south, near to Sisteron. Here are some more pics from the Presles area.












We've had a nice few days here although the climbing has not been all we had imagined. We did find somewhere out of the sun- Balme d'Etrange for any future expolorers - and had a couple of days there and did a few routes. Have found the climbing quite hard to get used to and have spent most of my time on a top-rope, however Iain managed a 7c+ on the second attempt yesterday which is not too bad at all.... (though I wasn't as impressed as I was to see a red squirrel soloing 6a twenty metres above the ground!)

We also ran into Graham and Kirsty which was a real coincidence given that we've seen very few other climbers since we've been here... Here they are at Balme d`etrange.
