March 28, 2026 - Switched habit.

I always prefer climbing in the morning until about 14h, after which I spend the rest of the day working on my barn project. Usually, this is how it goes, but after a rainy night and a few more rain showers yesterday morning, I had to switch my habit, work in my barn in the morning, with a short climbing session later in the afternoon after the sun had come out and a fierce wind blew everything dry. 
The work in my barn is pretty exhaustive so I didn't want to go to my priority project, but went to Roche aux Oiseaux instead to try a newly opened 7B, "L'Oeuf de Poule (assis)". A sitstart to "L'Oeuf de Poule", which is only a 5+ on its own, so the hardest moves were definitely going to be the first ones. With a cold breeze from the North, it was felt quite cold, but that was an advantage on the first move, featuring a very bad sloper for the right hand. Doing the first two moves didn't take me very long, but I was surprised about how difficult it felt to throw the right foot for a toehook. Once I was able to it though, I was able to top out.

This morning, I could return to my usual habit and went to my priority project. The work from yesterday had taken its toll though and I lacked the power to even repeat the crux move separately. Nevertheless, it felt like a good training session and I don't mind going back there next weekend. I will be in a quiet isolated spot during the infamous extremely crowded Easter weekend.
