We went to a quartzite crag today that I can only describe as fabulous. Quite a lot like the gneiss at Skaha in British Columbia. It is Rocher Baron. Very busy today because it was Sunday: full of Italians. We've got to have at least one more day midweek before we leave. It's not multi pitch but highly recommended if you want something different from the limestone or granite multi pitch stuff.
On another note, a couple of days ago we did a great granite multi-pitch route at Ailefroide: Et On Tuera Tous Les Affreux. Eleven pitches: 5c+, 5b+, 4c, 5c+, 5c, 5b, 5c, 5c+, 5c, 5b, 5c; 360 metres. Nicely sustained at about 16/17 the whole way. Highly recommended if you ever come this way. A couple of the pitches looked a bit scrappy but when we climbed them they were great.
