So here's a sort of a game ;) Let's imagine you have a fair amount of holidays you can take in autumn or winter, a very comprehensive and flexible boss, a rope, quickdraws, a car, and the will to drive all night long to almost anywhere in france and neighbouring countries (spain, italy, etc..). you live close to a wonderful bouldering venue but far from good crags, so on holidays you prefer rope climbing... somewhere in november or decemmber you decide last-minute to take your break, but whoops you realize that it is quite difficult to find partners for a winter climbing trip last minute. So you need a destination where you will are likely to find good weather and some spare climbing partners, or even better a campsite packed with climbing bums. Ideally not too far from second chances in case you find no one, such as good bouldering destinations or good "rest-day" activities... where would you drive to? :)
Quite easy: You look where the climbing bus is actualy driving to and join him. There are climbers on it, you don't need to care about topos, where to get your food, sleeping oportunities, ... you just have to take your rope and climb, climb, climb. you donยดt even have to drive all night long, 'cause in wintertime most tours start in barcelona for siurana, terradets, santa linya. only the 3 weeks christmas trip goes down to alicante.
