It's been a while since I wrote something on my blog, but it's not because I haven't been climbing. It's true that the last month was pretty low on climbing, but that was mostly due to rain and bad conditions on the moments that I had time to climb. There were a few days with quite good conditions, but the drive for topping whatever, was lower than the drive to visit some more isolated harder boulders and spend a good time in solitary, trying out moves and making progress. I also saw a lot of deer deep down in the Coquibus region, which made the long exhaustive, but beautiful walks all worth the while.
Today though, I decided to go to Cassepot Roches Grises, the only day that the weather forecast looked somewhat okay. I wasn't even out of my village yet, when I thought about turning back and waiting for a few more hours for it to dry. The streets and and the ground next to them was still soaking wet, but luckily I kept on driving. Luckily, because the conditions were quite good despite the forest still being wet.
My main goal for today was nothing too hard, but I wasn't able to do "Drôle de Monde (assis)" on my last visit to the area and it hadn't gone out of mind ever since. It was one of those few projects that kept lingering and I didn't forget about it.
The conditions were much better than last time, but the dynamic move to the sloper still didn't feel easy. Very nice problem!
This looked like a good candidate for an easy flash, but fifteen minutes and seven attempts later, I had to revise that thought. There are so many things that look like holds, but finding the right method took me longer than expected. Fun problem though!
