The Drapel\u00a0Climbing Wall near Aigle is a nice place to climb. When I was there yesterday we were in the shade of the trees unless we were climbing. The temperature for this week is at around 25-27\u00b0c daily which is nice. These are almost summer temperatures, at last. The parking for this climbing wall is<\/p>\n

Getting there<\/h3>\n

The parking for this climbing wall is here<\/a>. I’m giving a specific location because when I looked at maps I was not filled with confidence. To get to the parking you go to Yvorne\u00a0and from there towards Vers Monthey. You drive through a narrow gap between two houses and then along a viticultural road towards the forest. You go up a dirt road for a few metres. The parking is a clearing in the woods. From there you walk for between 10-15 minutes. You know you’re at the climbing wall because there is a bench overlooking the castle. Come back a few metres and you’ll see the climbing wall where there are routes.<\/p>\n

The Routes<\/h3>\n
\"The<\/a>
The view when you finish the route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You know you’re at the climbing wall because there is a bench overlooking the castle. Come back a few metres and you’ll see the climbing wall where there are routes. At this wall<\/a> you have 15 5a to 5c+ routes, 15 6a to 6a+ routes and 20 7a to 7c+ routes. These climbs are slab and overhangs. The places are well equipped. Routes are between 28-50m.<\/p>\n

If and when you come to this climbing wall make sure you have a print-out of the routes and their difficulty. The routes are not named so you might accidentally do a 6a route and exhaust yourself immediately, as we did. I would definitely come back to this wall and this time I would make sure to climb routes that are gradually harder as the day progresses.<\/p>\n
