So yeah, a while ago i said id start putting it all on the blog about whats goin down...im just a little apathetic is the problem. So I have finished my A Muerte training with david macia in spain and have been in Nice, France climbing in Gorge de loup the past 2 weeks. Needless to say the crew here has been crushing, here are the notables:
Sean McColl:
-4 .14bs: Quenelle Trophy, Hot ChiliX, Total Eclatch, 7 PM Chaud
-4 .14as two of which(Hot Chili Beans and Honk) were flashes!!!
Jon Cardwell:
-Ultimate Sacrifice, .14b/c first go after the easier entrances!
-Qoussai de la fin, .14b 4th try
-last Soul Sacrifice, .14b
-New Power Sacrifice, .14b a solid send while still dealing with jetlag
-Karoshi, .14a, fourth go in a day
Myself:
-Qoussai de la fin, .14b
-Last Soul Sacrifice, .14b
-Quenelle Trophy, .14b
-New Power Sacrifice, .14b
So obviously we are all syked right now. Yesterday was day number 3 of climbing for me and Jon. At a wall as burly and intense as Devérsé, 3 full days of going up only 5.14 pitches, cuz thats all there is at the cliff!!, is damn-hard. Even this being so, We both managed to haul our exhausted selves up the overhung, 120 foot long route Qoussai de la fin! after my BIRTHDAY send and falling off the last bolt of hot chiliX, and Gerome Pouvreau finishing off the SUPER proud Triptik Tonic, .14c, We had a little celebration dinner at the photographers, Philipe Maurel, house. An amazing plate of pasta and a lot of wine just comes to show that whether in the Deep South in the states or the Cote D'Azur in France, Southern Hospitality always is AWSOME!
