Saint Victoire

Filed under: All, Saint Victoire — ablack @ 12:18 pm

Mt. Saint Victoire is a limestone massif contructed of layers of shear fins near Aix-En-Provence. The mountain was made famous by the paintings of Paul Cezanne. The area offers some great long routes upto 15 pitches in length and the higher you get the better the rock!

CLIMBING
- This is a route I originally did on a rope with Bob when my parents where visiting. It steepens near the top but the rock is great all the way. I think it is rated 5c (5.9) but it might be easier.

TRAVEL
- Mt. Saint Victoire is about 20 minutes from Aix.
