May 05, 2016 - Hot and crowded.

Two words that can best describe the forest today, are 'heat' and 'crowds'.
The parkings around Trois Pignons were saturated. Cars were parked until deep into the streets of Noisy around the parking of 95.2 to name just one parking.
It's a long weekend so a lot of foreigners, but also one day tourists who of course take advantage of the free day and the beautiful hot sunny weather. You can't blame them of course, its a magnificent forest!

I went back to Rocher du Guetteur, and besides regular hikers along the '25 Bosses' path, I was the only climber there.
I wandered around a bit to explore the area a little more trying some new problems here and there.
It was hot though and besides "L'Ère des Géants" I didn't topout any other harder problems. Some more projects though ... again!

"L'Ère des Géants" is a pure compression boulder but a really morpho one.
At a certain point it was barely possible to move out of my position but the good hold in the end compensated for the move.
