UKC

Where would you well travelled UKC-ers recommend that fits the following? Looking for an area that has...

• 5+ pitches, the more the better
• Sport or at least bolted belays
• Good rock
• 6b - 7b
• Lots of the above to go at for a month

So far my list consists of 

1. Verdon...

Verdon.

Briancon(Ailefroide, Cerces, Tete d’Aval…)

That place in Mexico (Potrero Chico?) I expect. Not been though. Sardinia? Some of Red Rocks?

Taghia

Fiesta de los Biceps (La Visera) (7a) 

7 pitches of the finest potatoe climbing! 

Switzerland.

Most pages in the schweiz extreme guide book will keep you busy for a week.

I am sure dom o will be along in a mo with a  huge list, probably not replied yet as he will still be typing.

I've been to quite a few of the places mentioned here (not taghia though). None are as good as Verdon. 

Corsica - Bavella area has a lifetimes worth of adventurous bolted and semi bolted multi pitch. The Restonica/Tavignano area around Corte has more of the same. 

There are quite a few in that range in the Blue Mountains, near Sydney. 

Thanks guys looks like not much of the day job is going to get done today...

Keep them coming!

To pick one example, Wendenstocke combines the rock and climbing quality of the Verdon with a mountain setting. The disadvantage of the latter is the mountain weather so it is good to have a plan B (through the tunnels to the Italian-speaking cantons or northern Italy itself?). You need to be climbing 7a or harder to get the most out of it and  the easier pitches can be sportingly bolted (also true in the Verdon). It is strangely unpopular with anglophone climbers considering it has some of the very best multipitch sport in the world.

I've not been to Potrero Chico but my impression is it is popular with North American climbers as much for the novelty of relatively easy multipitch sport and good mid-winter conditions as for the climbing. I'd be interested to hear the opinions of people who have been there and places like Taghia or Verdon.

The Long, Hard and Free thread on ukb has lots of good suggestions: https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,18533.0.html

Tuolumne, Joshua Tree

Sardinia definitely, lots of very long very challenging multi pitch there.

El Portero Chico looks incredible, also never made it there, but not for want of trying!

I loved both those places, but didn't get the impression they had a great deal of 5+ pitch routes.

- Sanetsch (CH)

- Reiteralm North (Germany/Austria)

- Rätikon 

For some alpine stuff on incredible rock.

1. Verdon

2. Gorges du Taghia

The last requirement makes it hard to recommend anywhere else. Red rocks is good, but I would not stay there for a month. Wendenstöcke has unbelievably good rock, but after a few routes I would have had it, Riglos doesn’t have enough variety, Picos too spread out. Lots of great destinations in the western alps as well that doesn’t have enough for a month: the Gillardes, Ubaye, … etc.

How about lofoten?

Weather windows may cut that month to 2 weeks mind. 

Consider Costa Blanca. It meets all your requirements.

Read the exam question, the OP's asking about an area, not a route.

That's very true, and Riglos gets very samey after a few days, but it should always be pointed out that if you don't climb Fiesta, you'll have regrets on your death bed.

There's lots of routes you can't quite believe exist until you experience them, but with Fiesta you still can't quite believe it afterwards.

I won't.

Don't worry, it's definitely on my 'to do' list!

You will. 

Oh no I won't. There are many climbs I might regret not having done on my deathbed, but none of them will be conglomerate potato pulling.

Oh you will.
