Went there in the 1980s on my first road trip with my own car with my school friends. We were only climbing 5c. But it was intimidating. A holiday I’ll never forget. We went north to south (from the UK). Saussois, Buis le Barronies, Buoux, Mont Sainte Victoire, and Verdon as the finale.

great history, good respect for the equips, one of the great places to climb.

"but when there are pitons every meter it's a pity....there is less need to be focused." YES! This. Thank you, Catherine. Loved the Verdon Gorge during my climbing travels in France during the mid-nineties. True adventure and beauty. I'd never experienced any place quite like it. Adventure sport climbing.

Magnifique vidéo! J'aime particulièrement le contraste entre l'histoire racontée, l'envie de moins équipé et les images de toutes les nouvelles falaises comme la ramirole ou le pantin! Magique =)

Super vidéo! Tant de bons souvenirs! Merci Jackie et Barney!

Magnifique ! Beaux témoignages, belles images : bravo !

Great to see this video. We just came back from the Verdon. We showed our kids where their parents climbed in the mid-nineties/early 2000. Showed them the tunnels, the Belvédères, some of the routes we did, La Palud, pizza Pepino, Lou Cafetie, the campground, we even saw Bernard Gorgeon playing petanque (but we didn't know that at the time, just found out watching the video!). I have great memories climbing in the Verdon, and now I even have some more...

Merci Grivel . Climbed there also in the 80. Great Area !

Climbed there in the 90s, camping in La Palud, and doing the classics - La Demande, Paroi Rouge, Pichnibule... special place...

Free soloing The Legendary Catherine dstivelle 👑 And alain Robert the legend in verdon 👑

Yes you're right Peter, this campground was surely as famous as camp 4 in Yosemite. There was this specific atmosphere, people from all over the world talking together wearing pink or purple trousers ! We generaly started to speak about the routes we did the days before and conversations turned rapidely into more philosophical or esoterical subjects ! There was no frontier between our activity and our lifes, climbing was the life . Great moments for sure

nice film!!

@Fred Devoluet, salut Fred tu m'as fait découvrir le Verdon il y a un an, très content de te retrouver ici aussi pour une nouvelle fois partager ta flamme !

I've always wanted to go to Verdon.

The climber alain Robert said "free soloing in verdon is freedom

super ça retrace bien la magie de ce lieu

Qui se souvient le nom du propriétaire du camping à La Palud dans les années 70 ? Aujourd'hui, on peut voir sur Google qu'il ne reste plus qu'un pré. L'homme était très gentil. Il fallait toujours laisser sa voiture ouverte aux parkings en haut. . Sinon, c'était toujours cassé.

I've been wondering what the hell happened to Enzo! Glad to see he's still crushing

Very watchable! Anyone know the name of the song playing in the opening scene?

what route is it at minute 6:50? thank you

could be little more climbing in this 20 minutes

This film sadly does not do justice to such an iconic climbing mecca; listening to people yammering on about the pros & cons of the different climbing styles that have been in/out of fashion over the past five decades gets tedious after about two minutes. I will say that the cliff panoramas/visuals were fantastic.

Dalere

and at minute 8:30?

and at 16?

Dommage que le plus grand équipeur du verdon, Bruno Clément dit Graou, ne soit jamais dans ce genre de film

Le sujet est intéressant,.mais à force de marteler votre logo, on le vomit, et ce qui aurait pu être un bon reportage se transforme en publireportage désagréable.

exactly what I was thinking. Couldnt watch more after 10 minutes of just seeing that annoying logo everywhere.
