When the sun came out, and we dropped our grade a bit, the climbing was quite good fun
Such a lack of hand holds that the locals have helped with some bolt-ons!
Cannelures de Eau were the main feature of the slab. In places there were nice sharp and positive pockets, but most of the time it was a matter of smearing your feet into the grooves and trusting the friction...
Latte and Cakes - yummy!
Laetitia had day off from rock climbing to rest her sore ankle. Later, when the sun came out, she had a nice doze on a picnic bench!
An easier cragging day today; we chose a new venue for us, La Frasse, near Flaine. However, when we got there Paul said, “Limestone slab climbing with no holds, urgh!”…
Adding to the lack of hand holds was the fact that initially, before the sun showed up, it was bloody freezing!
Needless to say we didn’t stay long; we only did two (three pitch) routes! Then we headed for cakes! :yum:
Could you not find a matching jug ❓
It does match! It’s called contrast… :alien:
