November 01, 2024 - Gamble.

Being in full Autumn, the weather has been very grey with a lot of dense fog in the morning, lasting well through the day. It makes choosing where to climb a bit of a gamble. Leaving the house, not knowing if it will be dry in the area of choice is suspenseful, but it looks like last weekend and today, I have been quite lucky. 
Today's choice was Montrouget Est and even though there was still a lot of fog, no wind and a sky covered by grey clouds, I was lucky again. The boulders were dry, but I left the main area and continued up the hill towards "Figure de Style", which I had chosen as a main project for this session. I had tried this problem back in 2017, but couldn't even do the first move feeling very uncomfortable with the left heelhook for the start.
Even though the boulder was dry and I soon managed to do the first move, the conditions weren't ideal, and I slipped off the bad sloper right hand a lot of times. I persisted though and ended up with finishing the boulder.
