My first view of the cliffs as we drive up.

Herve's goal of sending 10 7a's before turning 50 brings us to Presles. Petit Tao starts under a small overhang and leads to a sustained section before hitting the final slab.

Two unknown climbers in Presles... if you look closely you'll see that the top belayer is very busy taking pictures of the scenery (ahem...not that I can talk...)

Taken after a great day of climbing, the sun shining on the crag, hungry, tired...!

following the lead of Paolo75 on Topomaniac in Presles, France. Photo was taken by Paolo. I am pretty sure this is the 5th pitch. I highly recommend this route - wonderful exposure, nice moves and every pitch is exiciting in a different way!

Climbing on a sunny day in Presles. Picture taken 3 pitches from the end of Nid d'Aigle. Nice climbing, nice weather and a good partner. Life can be good...

View from the top of the sector Les Buis in Presles. The day before we got alot of showers, yet this day the weather was good. There was still some rain in the air though.
