All in all a pretty successful trip, the predicted weather looked awful but luckily it turned out to be very pleasant indeed! Managed to get to a few new areas which was cool and just got in a lot of quality climbing and quality problems.

Highlights included doing berezina (pretty quickly as well) and then the berizina into carnage link. I held the last hold on this first session but dropped it for some reason, first try the next day and it was done, very cool to get a (probably soft) v10 done out there!


La Berezina 7c

Rubis sur longle and magic bus (at buthiers piscine) were both great fun, and both went down surprisingly quickly. La baleine and big jim at petis boi were both awesome problems, la baleine being ultimate classic and big jim (6c) being pretty scary with a crux slap right at the top! Gargantoit at gorges du houx proved worth the walk, its an absolute cracker and probably one of the scariest problems I've ever done.


Magic Bus 7b+ La Baleine 7a+

Back Keele way now with no uni work, (and now no girlfriend... pretty gutting and a big dampner on the trip :( ) a bit of "real work" and a lot of psych for a good summer of crushing, chilling and partying. A car will be purchased this week or next which will finally mean ultimate freedom!!
