November 16, 2025 - The ancient time.

It was extremely foggy this morning, but somehow there were some small sections without fog at all when I driving towards Nemours to meet Olaf for hopefully some climbing in Les Mammouths. The forest was wet, but the conditions of the boulders were very good. It's strange sometimes how good the conditions can be when you would think that it's a day without any potential for climbing. We apparently made a good choice for today. Olaf had decided to not climb a lot because he wanted to keep his skin and energy for the next two upcoming days. Monday and Tuesday look like days with good weather, cold and a high potential for very good conditions. He has been waiting for good conditions to go try his current big project, "Le Dolmen du Divin" in Rocher de Milly.
After almost cutting through my skin while trying "Gloire", we decided to move to the other side of the area to try a new very nice looking boulder, "La Prouhistoire", close to the Museum of the Prehistoric Time. The conditions on that side of the area were a bit less good, but still very climbable. The standing start gave some trouble for Olaf, mostly because of his mindset being fixed on the next days, but I got away with it on my second attempt. It could have been my first attempt, but I bumped into Olaf while taking the swing after the dynamic move.

The sitstart felt way harder than I thought it would, going off by the grade, but after slightly changing my method, I could move better and felt quite comfortable. Not long after, I also managed to top out from the sitstart. All nice moves that seemed to fit me quite well.
Olaf unfortunately didn't finish neither, but I appreciate how he was mainly there to keep me company. Much appreciated, as always.
