Inspiring Routes Southern France/Northern Italy 14-Sep-2011 At 2:08:50 PM bones

Heading to Europe for a couple of months of climbing in May/June next year. Following a few similar posts on chocky, I'm looking for some rock routes to inspire me to train hard for it. I'll probably be in Gorge du Tarn/Verdon for May then Alps/Dolomites for June. Currently climb about gr19 Trad and 22 Sport.

What amazing lines have people climbed in that part of Europe that might be doable at that time of year, and with a bit of training on top of my current climbing grades?

Some I've got my eye on at the moment are the Don Quixote route up the Marmolada in the Dolomites, and maybe something on Tre Cima. Some of the Alpine Granite near Mont Blanc looks inspiring too.

Suggestions appreciated.

Cheers
