Up All Day, Out All Night In Verdon With Yuji Hirayama And James Pearson

Join Yuji Hirayama and James Pearson for a fast, sun-soaked mission into France’s legendary Gorges du Verdon in this Episode Two of Wine Dine Climb from EpicTV. With Caroline Cavalli and the crew in tow, the road trip detours through a North Face night festival before settling into the gorge’s limestone world—less about the famous big walls this time, and more about hunting pocketed caves by the river and the wild, remote lines of La Ramirole. It’s worth watching for the mix of pure climbing stoke and travel-life charm: big scenery, quick-hit beta, and the kind of banter that only happens when you’re living out of a van with friends. The standout is Caroline’s hard-fought send of the endurance testpiece Le Feu Occulte (8b+), followed by exactly the sort of off-the-grid celebration Verdon was made for—part picnic, part gourmet camper cooking, part forest party, all packed into six punchy minutes.
