Posted by in Alpinism, Climbing, Photo, Your trip

Here we are again hard at work for the second time in 7 days! Why again? I explain to you. To take advantage of the fair last Monday niche, we give appointment with Sim said the stallion to wipe the fog, the Coupé. But after swallowing too fast approaching, we are left with a 5m visi to the wall. Small wall if any: 300m to 400m high and several kilometers long! Thinking in the right place, I’m going on trad mode in the first crack. Rock means, see Péteux well for good 60m rope. And here we are lost! There are spits … we said we will follow them … unfortunately in upturns, 7c will be hard to pass. In short, we said we will come back, take revenge on Monday.
Second attempt! This is flared! But then what path! Nothing is thrown away. Each length is magic and good to very good rock! We quickly swallow lengths. The first heats us because at 8 am the sun was just touching the rock. 6a + 6a and went quietly. Ah, yes, I forgot to say. We got 2 * 60m, so we made 2 lengths in one every time.
Second (large) length: wall / slab technical but well equipped, followed by the famous 7a. It will free me, and second ;-). Thank you Simon! The third length will also free, 6c major! Slab crack all there! Fourth length: long crossing to access the key and easy length in perfect dihedral. Follows, the fireplace, rather renfougne not so convenient as that. Allow 2 big friends. Fifth length: major as a small heater 6a then we go for a 6c + / 7a huge dulfer. Which class ! Chained to view me in mind. The sixth length majeurisme! Congratulations to Simon sight. 6b on a nonexistent scrambling not so good in the beginning. Once past the first stint at hand for THE length. Noted 7b +, we would like to see someone this chain length on-mutant. Yet we’re both climbers seventh degree … The seventh is a length 6b / c class, not difficult to get out of the relay, then flies into the pillar yarn. The result will be easier and good rock again!

When you are told that has fed and entertained! Soon the stallion for more adventures!
