Climbing near Tolouse France

[TrogdortheBurninator]

I will be spending 3 weeks in Tolouse France this summer helping to teach a class at one of the local universities. I am wondering if and where the closest good climbing is. I hope to have a couple of weekends free, and I'd like to spend them climbing. I had looked at trying to get to Chamonix, but it is like a 24hr total trip by train. Maybe there are some good options in the south of france, or northern spain. Regarding gear, I'd like to just bring shoes, helmet, and harness, but that requires that local partners are easy to find.

Since I never drove, I can't tell you where, just that it exists. I think we did a lot of climbing up against the Pyrenees.

 

Lots of canyons to the SE w/ climbing - how long to Verdun? Calanques?

 

You could take a couchette after work, climb for the wk-end, then couchette back and be ready in the am!

 

Contact the Syndicat d'Initiative, le CRIJ, Jeuness et Sports, etc.

 

There is always buildering and climbing the cement dike downtown.

 

Ask your liason to get you in touch personaly w/ a climber where you'll be working.
