I didn't worry about it too much, because there was no rain predicted and the air felt dry.
The plan was to join Pieter and Bram (Honorez) in Cuvier Sorcières.
Pieter and I arrived first and started warming up in the sector where "Saruman" is.
Last time I was here, the boulders were wet and I could't try anything, but now they were all dry and I warmed up in "Baba Yaga".
An easy sitstart, a little crux move to match both hands on bad slopers, followed by a mantle with only a few tiny crimps that took me while to find them.

Pieter still did the standing start, simply because he forgot to sit down.
Just right of "Baba Yaga", on the same boulder, I wanted to try "Sortilège".
A lot of compression on non existant holds on the top, only very bad slopers. Especially on a day like today when it is dry, but the friction is hardly there.
I can imagine that it would feel easier in good conditions, but now this felt like a good 7B.
Recommended for those who like slopers.
Just watch out when trying to step over some pad there, Pieter proved it can be tricky!
