That's no excuse! You just need to find a good crag. One where the rock itself can protect you from the weather. Indeed you need to be a bit brave and take the risk, for the rain might catch you before you get to the rocks.
We spent last weekend in Saint Jeannet, where there's a huge piece of limestone overlooking the village. There are many multi-pitch routes, as well as some sport climbing crags. One of them, called la grotte du Péril jaune, is a small cave which is perfect for rainy days.
Even though the cave is quite small, there are around 30 routes, ranging from 4 to 7c. You will find different styles of climbing, from vertical routes with small crimps to overhangs with big holds.
We went there with Ignaki and Chris on Saturday, and we liked it so much that we decided to go again on Sunday. Peri, Roca and Núria joined us on Sunday as well. A few pictures of the weekend:
My best performance was Jeu de poulpe, a 6c that I managed to on-sight, yaaay! Also, we did Méli Melo, which is graded 7a+, but it feels more like a 6a+. I guess there's a mistake in the topo. You can check the ascents on the tick list.
