For the past 3 years, I've been lucky enough to spend my summers away in Europe. I've been to most of the big classic destinations, obviously I've left each area with plenty to go back to but I'm always keen to try out new places.

I've been to:
Ceuse
Gorge du Tarn
Verdon
Ailefroide
Orpierre
Arco
All around Briancon (many small crags)
Valle dell'Orco
Magic Wood
St Leger
Baume Rousse

Basically, where am I missing on my list in Europe? My main requirements are its got to be suitably cool enough to climb there mid-summer (August).

EDIT: Looking for between F7a-8b roughly, or trad equivalent.

Thanks for the suggestions!

tjekel - I've never heard of any of those, a quick search finds some amazing pics! Any more info on these? Any recommended camping nearby ect? In my experience Swizzy can be pretty expensive.

AlanLittle - I've always had a fear of the Frankenjura, I'm not that strong and I've hear the 'jura is bouldery bouldery!

Paul - Are temps reasonable in Rodellar in August?

I went to Riglos in August once just for a 'look' - it was 40C in the middle of the day,
