Low grade climbing vacation

I guess you find most easy and well bolted routes at Kalymnos but you might have to climb mainly during the morings or evenings as it might be a bit warm during summer. Other spots I know there are quite a few easy well bolted routes are Rodellar (which is perfect for the summer), Margalef/Siurana (warmer), Basler Jura, Ötztal, Pfalz.  I have also heard about recently developed climbs in Norway but they are spread out in many crags. It would be interesting to know some more places so please add some more places and we can make a list. It is also a possibility to check the crag Tick List where you check for grades and season. In some cases for old developed places like in France with a lot of traffic there might be a problem with polished holds. The higher you step up in the grades the more fun you will have :)

I would suggest the area around Imst (western Tyrol/Austria). I am living in this area and started climbing last year. I spent nearly the whole year in this area. You have around 10 big climbing spots (Ötztal: Oetz, Engelswand, Nösslach, Oberriet; Karres: Rote Wand; Starkenbach; Nassereith) with altogether - I guess - 200 Routes between 5C and 6B+. If you are coming for a couple of weeks you have plenty of stuff to try out. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards Stefan

Thanks for the tips guys! Which do you think is the best place if you don't have a drivers license though? According to my research kalymnos should be better. But that is based only on the fact that it's a small island. How accessible is the Imst area via public transportation Stefan? I really like the idea of climbing in the Alps.

I think you might find you will like Orpierre. It's a safe sports-climbing heaven with all crags at walking distance. Plenty of quality 4/5/6 grades there. The campsite offers a discount for climbers and everything is safely bolted. All the crags are south-facing, so it might get warm depending on the time of year. If you don't have a car then make sure you have enough cash on you. The cash-dispenser is in another town. Other than a bank, the village has all you need though. If you are looking for a great mix of sports / multipitch / boulder then perhaps you will like Ailefroide (Les Ecrins). Again everything at walking distance and plenty of "softer" grades. It's a charming village for climbers/hikers in the Alps with a beautiful campsite in the woods. Everything you might need can be found in the village. Really well bolted place in general except for some classics and obvious trad-lines. Those are well marked in the guidebook. Plenty of soft grades, and softer prices for camping and food when compared to Switzerland and Austria. :) You might have to hitchhike or find a bus to get you to these places, but ones you are there you will no longer need a car. 

@ Pacal: Thanks, it would be interesting to publish a small article of more places with well protected easier climbs so if anybodyelse have some tips from their back yard, please list them.
