"Thanks must go to Alan Carne 'our man in the Verdon', whose encyclopaedic knowledge of the area AND ability to work to a tight deadline has been incredibly useful in describing the great routes in this magnificent venue. His input helped expand my original plans for minimal coverage of the big classics to a section of the book that should keep most climbers happy for years." 

A Special Thanks 

"Many thanks to expat Brit and mountain guide Alan Carne who lives near the Verdon. He got in touch and offered his help when he first heard about this project and has been a mine of information, offering advice, feedback, comments on individual routes, access details and photos from his library - I couldn't have done it without him".
