EXCITING CLIMBING CAMP IN CEÜSE, SOUTH FRANCE

Only 1.5 hours away from Briançon there is a massive climbing cliff Ceüse. It lies just above the nice little town Gap. Ceüse is situated at an altitude 1750m with amazing landscape and nature. The wall belongs among the best crags in the world with superb routes on incredible pockety limestone, with super technical lines on steep and slightly overhang wall. Climbing in Ceüse is demanding and strenuous, both psychologically and physically, so it is necessary to be very well prepared. Be prepared for good climb between spaced bolts! ˝Thankfully almost all the routes have recently been superbly re-equipped, so this "psychological factor" adds to the fun and excitement and makes the routes even more memorable! ˝(cit.: planetmountain.com). Most of the routes are single pitch, between 30 and 50m long, range from 5a till 9a+, furthermore on the right of the wall there are multi-pitch routes too. Not only climbing is hard, but also every day walking on a steep path (1 hour) gets your body in total athlete condition, so Ceüse gives you unforgettable, exhausted, exciting and beautiful climbing holiday experience.

 

Availability: 3 climbers max.
