We're well aware that the frequency of blog posts isn't what you, our readers, would like to see. But for those of you who are climbers, you can understand the problematic opposition of blog posting and "perfect conditions". Our first weeks here were full of zero degree weather, without any humidity. Very sticky. Which meant that everyday was a climbing day. But now spring has arrived and we'll try to get you some more photos:
The last of the cold days was spent at Maunoury. Hidden behind the more obvious Dame Jouanne, this area features good warm-ups and a few classics like the striking "Irreversible".
Courtney slapping for (far away) slopers on "Oasis".
The Beta debate on "Irreversible". As Kevin noted, "with this type of problem, everyone is very polite because no one wants to go first".
Ingar scoping out the long reach on Irreversible.
The "videographers": Patti and Virginie, spectate.
Following Fabian's send, Ingar and Tim both top out this bold star line.
Another mega day on a mega line in the forest. Super committing last move. I love this problem. Wish I was still climbing with you guys. I've already penciled in my trip for next year :)
