February 15, 2025 - Two on one.

Two weeks ago in Marion des Roches, I checked out "Crépuscule (du sol)", but with the lower back injury then, it didn't even come up in me to try it. The problem looked very nice though, and it lingered in my head since then. I didn't go back last week, because I joined Victor (Burger) on both days of the weekend, climbing in bad conditions and only repeating a few easier problems in Mont Blanc. I did promise myself to go back Marion des Roches today to work in "Crépuscule (du sol)".
With only -4°C in the early morning, it was freezing cold, but it was dry and it looked like the conditions might be very good. Despite the cold, I left early anyway, as usual. By the time I got there, it was still only 0°C, but the sun made it very bearable. 
I hadn't planned for it at all, but I decided to warm up trying the big dyno of "Big Mak" on the same boulder. I had tried it a few times about ten years ago, and figured it would be good to wake my body up. Already on my first attempt, I felt that I was close and decided to put on the camera, just in case. A few attempts later, I stuck the dyno and the swing, and topped out.

I then took my time to work out the moves of "Crépuscule (du sol)" separately one by one. It didn't take long to realize that the hardest part was at the start. Getting off the ground and doing the first big and rather awkward move from the undercling to a sloper right hand. As soon as I had figured out the move, I turned on the camera and sent it immediately after. Very, very nice problem.

The energy that I still had left in me, I spent trying "L'Oeuf de Pâques (assis)", which felt really hard or just too morpho. It had sucked me dry, but I was pleased with the session when I walked back to the car, quite exhausted.
