Just spent a month in the Gorge de Tarn (and other Euro crags).... no manufactured holds at all. I think places like St. Leger, Ceuse, Bruixes, and Kalymnos are all very much anti-chipping.
Having also climbed on the (overrated) Grit in the UK, I would have to say that the climbing at the European crags is a s..tload better. I think the multitudes of Brits I met climbing in Europe would agree!!
P.S. Rodellar was spoiled by chipping and manufactured holds.... the newer areas around Siurana are a much better alternative!! |
