My preferred climbing areas: Bruixes

My climbing experience: 1975: first contact with a rock-climbing rope and harness on a giant boulder in Chamonix area.

1983: the oldest climb that I can remember realizing is "La Z" (about 5a) named according to the system of cracks that the cliff features (Mont-Roc, close to Albi); traditional climbing on stoppers. I am much more into caving, at that time.

1989: I regularly attend the Thursday afternoon climbing sessions with other students of the University of Pau.

1990: I move to Nice and hit it off with PE students. From then on, I am a regular rock-climber.

1996, the British year: I am a gritstone climber, a proud member of the BMC and of the Milton Keynes Mountaineering Club (:oD).

2000: I give up an attempt to do free-diving competition and start going to the crag with climbers much better than me: some of the Nice-Climbers.

My best achievement in whatever kind of climbing I did: "La femme adultère", 7b+

What I like the most in my climbing life: Being outside and meeting nice people.

27crags, climbervoice, 8a and many others are amazing sites, but sometimes, expecially if you worked a lot to envision, bolt, clean routes or boulders, you want to monetize a little your efforts.

9b can help you in this aim.

As you can see here, in 9b there are many " topo groups ".

You can add a discussion in every "topo group".

In your discussion you can edit and publish your own climbing topoguide, as a "paywall", a "destination page", requiring climbers their payment by credit card or paypal to access and read, even on SMARTPHONES (iphones, android phones, ...)
