This summer has been pretty busy compared to the rest of the year.

We started with a traditional climbing course with Tristan from Rendez-vous Vertical in the Chassezac gorges. This enabled us to learn how to handle ropes and friends. The first falls were pretty scary, but once we got over that hurdle, our confidence was there.

Trad climbing

We ended the week with two days of cooler climbing in the region, including the route Alien vs Predator, which has a really nice atmosphere!

After a short week’s break to get back to work, we were back in Mallorca for 10 days of climbing in the heat.

Finally, a short weekend without climbing gave us a chance to relax. Off to Normandy via Giverny.

Some time ago, I went climbing with a new stranger at Murmur Pantin. We had a beer (after the climb, of course) and he told me about his plans to climb the Aiguille Dibona. We had a good feeling about it, but hadn’t had the chance to climb together again.
