Estenc (Mercantour : southern alps)
With Caf Aubagne, we went for 3 days in mercacantour national park ( southern France). At this time of the year, the snow started this year at 2000m a.s. l. but this winter has poor snow conditions… We still managed to get ourselves really nice trip with amazing group, snow and view!

Day 1 : Tete de la Sanguinette with CAF Aubagne ! Day 2 : Tête des Garrets Day 3 : Tete de la cote de l’ane
The tabarly traverse / la traversée Tabarly
The Tabarly traverse ( TD- / 6a / P2) The Tabarly traverse is one of the most classical traverse in the Calanques which stands out because of its panoramic view and the quality of the climb ( click here for more info ). For sure it is an adventure to climb this route. It is also stunning to enjoy the view over Cassis, the cliff of cap canaille and the kayak paddling at your feet.

Climbing in caroux/ grimpe au carroux
When the winter arrives to its end and the need of sun is becoming obvious, you need to prepare again for mountain routes and its peculiar rope handling and rock !! Therefore you need to go to le caroux where you have small mountain gneiss and just enough equipment so you don’t risk your life !! the carroux is located near bezier in herault ( 34). A good start for ridge climbing ( easy but really interesting : http://www.camptocamp.org/routes/57457/fr/caroux-arete-des-charbonniers-arete-des-charbonniers-w A serious climb, easy to protect all the way up but need to be carefull not loosing his way http://www.camptocamp.org/routes/56894/fr/caroux-roc-du-caroux-ou-paroi-du-rieutord-pilier-w Difficult pitch 2 : http://www.camptocamp.org/routes/412781/fr/caroux-pouce-de-farrieres-face-sse-directe Caroux; pouce de farrieres face sse directe (steep !): Enjoy some pictures taken from a single pitch climbing.
