Avec Fantine, Nicolas et François.
Once n & rsquo; not hurt, only Fantine s & rsquo; is proposed to come. Opportunity to discover a new facet of & rsquo; climbing. This will be the great way in field of & rsquo; adventure. The Tram n & rsquo; is not too strong that day.
Le Petit Dru, namesake of his twin brother Chamonix certainly a little less high, is historically the most known area of Vingrau. Top of 120 m, it was frequented in years 65/70 by the pioneers of & rsquo; escalation in the department. This story is told in the topo Tautavel by Michael who was then fifteen & rsquo; years. The way of the Petit Dru remains great local classic rightly. Air yet spacious three-star lodge, the ideal way to take beginners. Crawling men in khaki have weathered the third length, we allow a prank in the fireplace of the prettiest Parallel, but higher and more difficult. Its relative remoteness and great tranquility are popular with lovers of the site and contemplative.
Quotes of the way : 5a, 5a, 5c, 5a, 5c.

Three “conquerors of the useless”… Owl book to read d & rsquo; elsewhere :-).
In the down-aisle, at the chain, under the Black. Missing d & rsquo; elsewhere the thick rope that dropped us to the ground. The trail is well marked, there must be passing at the moment.
One can imagine a strung to R3 of the track.
The world is very very small. We will meet at the car. C & rsquo; is a second boyfriend (High School, no gearbox) with his son. We do s & rsquo; was not seen 32 years…
The beauty and the Beast. It works in both directions.
The well near the refuge. It n & rsquo; is not a legend. More than 25 years I didn & rsquo; there was not arrested.
Baptism of Fantine in this magical water that refreshed our elders of & rsquo; escalating Pyrenees Orientales after their epic battles.
These pioneers of & rsquo; climbing climbing with rudimentary equipment : a rope around the waist, big instead of slippers. This means that the rope serves only & rsquo; the second…
To get an idea, it gave it. The other two parts are available on You Tube.
Fantine s & rsquo; questioned the channel's name.
Le Wood, who gave the name to the area, it looks like this.
I have not found a film on the ascent of the Dru alone by Catherine Destivelle. So for fun, two short films on this very strong climber (and climber) french.
Power girl !!!
For non-English speakers, I can translate. It has the same accent as me :-).
