August 25, 2019 - Third man method.

It was going to be very hot again today and Pieter gladly accepted my proposal to go the shady and calm area of Buthiers Nord.
It was Pieter's first time in this small sector, so after a quick introduction, we warmed up in "Freedom (direct)", a not so hard 7A completely to the right in the big roof. I had already done this one not even a year ago so repeated it quickly and Pieter followed soon after.
Just to the left of it, we then started working in "Neo", which also didn't take me very long to figure out and climb to the top, not really caring about aesthetics.

While I started in "Freeneo", the one that starts as for "Freedom", traverses to the left, to exit in "Neo", we got the unexpected, but very pleasant company of the climber known as 'Ritoon's' on bleau.info.
In the meantime, I finished "Freeneo" and watched the others climb and make some tops while taking a short break.

Pieter was climbing better than yesterday and also topped "Neo", but had to go deep until he found a better method for him, as shown by Ritoon's.
I made a rather quick ascent of "Trinity (sans convention)", before starting to work out the conventional version, where the first rounded hold for the right is not allowed, forcing you to stay lower to the left under the prow.

Ritoon's followed not long after, using his method, but Pieter was looking for a third one.

He had to look for quite a long time, but did find one that seemed to work for him, but lacked the energy to finish it.

I managed to climb "Trinity" in two overlapping parts, but fell off the last hard move a few times when coming from the start, my energy reserves were also becoming exhausted. We had been climbing quite hard for a few hours after all.
