Goulandiere

C-money and I went to a new-ish crag in the vercors called "La Goulandiere". Unfortunately, we didnt know where the road had been closed between Lans and Pont en Royans, so we took a gamble on PoR, and ended up hiking around in the brutal sun at the foot or Presles for an hour and a half on the GR9. Not content to write the day off without finding this mystery crag, we drove to La Balme de Rencurel, taking the detour through the beautiful but car sickness inducing Grandes Goulets, parked near the barriere, and found the crag. As for the crag itself, I would have to agree that its one of the best within one hour of grenoble: 35 meter routes on absolutely vertical rock with interesting movements and great views into the valley. It even has a little spring which we were too chicken to drink out of.
