July 21, 2016 - Watch your step!

After work I quickly went to Rocher du Télégraphe to check out some new opened problems.
I didn't have much time but was able to climb one of them, "Coup d'Epaule", a very nice arete on quite positive holds. Not a give-away though, or maybe it was me being a bit scared from falling onto the small boulder right next of it.

My right leg is getting much better, but I can feel that I lost a lot of power in it due to the constant limping for a couple of weeks. While trying "Coup d'Epaule", I even had difficulties to stop it from shaking.

There are some more problems, all variations, on the same boulder and on a big boulder 8m to the right of it, but I had to limit myself to trying only "Coup d'Epaule" due to lack of time.
I will return soon though to try some more, now that I know where to find them.

In the evening after eating and swimming, I went to Jean des Vignes and crossed a small viper on my way. I nearly stepped on it as it was in the middle of the big path Chemin de la Vallée Close, at about 30m from the parking.
It was a reminder to watch my steps, because, even if a bite will not kill you, a trip to the emergencies is advised to get antidote, and it will give you a high fever.
Be warned you all!!
