Chateauvert

I visited the climbing area of Chateauvert yesterday which is french sport climbing at its finest. Each route has a plaque with it’s name glued to the rock, bolts are very close and the approach to the crag requires you to just exit your car. Unfortunately I was feeling sick with a bad headache. I grabbed one photo of my best friend over the last couple days. No tylenol in France only aspirin that comes in the form of a tablet that you dissolve in water before ingesting. After climbing Todd and I visited the town of Correns (3 km from the climbing area) that I would highly recommend as a quiet get away. Named the number one organic town in France this beautiful little town is a great place to eat.

Climbing
- Chateauvert: killer approach, season spring and fall, Free camping in the town of Barjois with free warm water.

Travel
- Correns is a classic small french town and was named the number one organic town in France.
- No tylenol in France only funny looking aspirin.

Photography
- when photographing tablets in water I would recommend suspending the tablet by an nearly invisible thread to allow the bubbles to activate for the photograph.
