Chamonix Video Report: 29th May 2008

Indoor climbing in Les Houches

featured in Video Reports Updated

Bad weather has driven James inside this week. Fear not though as it has taken him to one of France's largest indoor rock climbing centres in Les Houches.

The centre is open year round and has rental lines and harnesses available for those who do not have their own kit. Although the weather is not set to clear up too quickly there will still be plenty of options for entertainment this week. With world class show jumping taking place in Les Bois and the begining of Tango week on Saturday even if the sun doesn't shine there will still be plenty of entertainment.
