September 11, 2022 - Flash party.

After a week with a lot of rain, the conditions didn't look very good when I was walking with Pieter towards Franchard Sablons Carriers, but on the top of the hill, it was dry enough to climb and I warmed up with a flash repeat of the 6C+(7A) "Le Toit de l'Abri-Bivouac", a nice little roof that I flashed back in 2018 as well. Pieter did it soon after a couple of attempts more.
Unfortunately, not much later, it started raining long and hard enough to make everything soaking wet. We kept busy doing moves in a few overhangs that had stayed dry, but knowing that nothing could be topped didn't quite boost the motivation; on the contrary.

Looking at the pictures of "La Roche qui Tremble" in Vallée Casse-Pot, it seemed like a quick drying boulder, and as it contains quite some problems, we decided to go there today.
We warmed up with "Bisteak (direct)", which we both flashed with relative ease.

Immediately after, we both also flashed "Bisteak".

We couldn't work ourselves through "Le Dos du Requin (direct)", but I did get away with a quick ascent of "Le Dos du Requin (assis)".

Moving to the other side boulder, Pieter flashed "La Roche qui Tremble (droite)", immediately followed by me, also with a flash.

After a short break, we had some discussion about how the line of "La Bouche du Requin" went, and we quickly agreed to stay low going to the left, to then finish on the prow. I checked out the first move and then finished it on my first attempt.

Pieter had some difficulties with "La Bouche du Requin" and while he was taking a break after a few attempts, I took the occasion to try the traverse "Utinam Remora" and got away with the flash there too.

I ended with showing Pieter the moves again and repeating "La Bouche du Requin", after which he climbed up to the prow, was lying on it with his belly, but still came out after having given it his last bits of energy. That was close, but no cigar.
