six

Sorry about the lack of updates, but not only has the storm kept us from climbing, but a lightning strike fried the DSL modem upon which we depend. We still managed to get in some climbing, despite the weather.

Monday we started out at Bouligny to check out the cool Gecko / Beaux Quartiers boulder. This boulder is an amazing lump of sandstone, but we didn't take any pictures, so you'll have to settle for this. After our afternoon coffee break, the sporadic hailing/sleeting started up. It would infuriatingly start hailing on us every time we geared up and got to a boulder with our pads. But we did get to tour a number of areas that I hadn't previously seen, including the incredible-looking slab, Les Nombrilistes:


On Tuesday, Nora came down with a cold, so I headed out solo to Bas Cuvier for my annual confrontation with La Balance. The weather cooperated and it was excellent climbing with excellent people.

And now for some pictures, thanks to Katherine:
