I just returned from Fontainebleau were I
spend a week with my sponsor NIHIL. They organised a training camp / photo
shoot. It was truly wonderful. The sun was shining each day, the food was good
and we stayed in a lovely gite. Being the youngest member of the group and
surrounded with lots of good climbers was an amazing experience. It is very
motivating to see the strong climbers of the team send hard problems. It is in
a way a bit frustrating to see them flash the boulders that I consider my
projects but also nice to get some good and different beta.
I didn’t climb a lot of hard problems and I
have not found my ultimate 7C yet but I sampled many. My wish list with
boulders for Bleau is getting bigger and I hope to send some nice problems
during the coming autumn and Christmas breaks. I did do l’œuf and canonball,
see movie below.
Special thanks to Rene and Irene for
organising this beautiful week and to Duncan for keeping me company, driving me
around and spotting me in some crazy boulders.
