Climbing in France and Spain

My friend Yngve and I went down to Orpierre, france 1st of Nowember. We stayed there for a week and headed down to Gorges du verdon. I wanted to climb the long multi pitch routes in the valley, but a snowstorm wanted different. So we headed down towards spain and ended up in Siurana, an amazing climbing location an hour from Tarragona. Unfortunately snow started falling from the sky and we had to move again. Further south in Gandia we found lots of pockets and tofus to pinch on and what seamed to be the only place in spain with warmish weather and sun. We stayed hear for almost two weeks and then headed up to Siurana to finish of some projects.

I had a few goals during this trip, one of them was to do a 7a. I reached that one and also sent 7b. The other goal was multi pitching in Gorges du Verdon. Weather made that impossible, but I will be back.
