January 25, 2026 - Sandbag.

With rain forecasted to start around noon today, I knew that the climbing session today was going to be short so I went to Buthiers for an easy and quick access to many boulders. To my surprise, the boulders at Buthiers Piscine were wet and I had to let go of the idea to try "Back in the Game". After a walk around and a scroll on bleau.info, I moved to Buthiers Tennis where it was dryer, but not in very good conditions. Not wasting any time, I stopped at the first boulder that got my interest, right next to the road. "Le Petit Oeuf de Pâques" is quite new and something I hadn't tried before. It looked like a fun problem, especially if you like slopers.
Personally, I like climbing with slopers a lot, but when they are sandy, it can become quite frustrating, especially when the conditions make the sand a bit sticky, making it very hard to clean it off the boulder. It was the case today. Even though I was able to make quick progress, there were a few times that I thought that I wasn't going to make it due to these sandy conditions. Not having anything else in mind in such a short time frame made me persist though, and I'm glad I did, as I was able to finish it just before noon.
On the way back home, it started raining. Just in time.
