The area around the Mont Blanc is known for its numerous possibilities and facets of climbing, and also offers enough potential for bouldering.The two authors have taken many blocks of this magnificent nature and present their favorite problems in this "different" bouldering guide. The bouldering guide is different because of its presentation; graphics merge smoothly into photos and thus one is automatically drawn into the interior of the book. The presented problems are in the difficulties between 4 and 9, spread over 3 countries! The bulk, however, in the high 6, 7 and 8 degrees!The sectors, the boulders themselves and the approach are comprehensively described. The boulders are also recorded via geodata and there is a recommendation for the best season. In addition, one learns whether to hand on granite, gneiss, limestone or conglomerate, as well as from what maximum height to drop.The boulders are in Haute-Savoie, around Bourg-Saint-Maurice and a site in Switzerland near Verbier.Areas: Valais: LourtierHaute-Savoie: col des Mottets, Coupeau, Graniteur, Doran, Balme, La Maladière, Gorge du Bronze, Grotte de la Table, Beaumont, Bois des Fées, Gorges des UssesSavoie: Les Arcs, Longefoy, Les Moulins, Le Mousselard, Le Monal, La Sassière, Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, La Verrerie190 pagesLanguage FrenchEdition 2022M.
