Yesterday morning I went back to Le Pendu d'Huison again, to try "Boule de Feu" on a big and very attractive boulder a bit below "Psycho Tropical". It was one of the other boulders that I wanted to try when coming here for the first time, but due my priorities being with the two other lines, I hadn't taken an opportunity yet to try it, despite having looked at a few times and already imagining the moves.
Starting in a steep overhang with an undercling, it immediately starts with a lot of body tension, making the first couple of moves quite powerful. The moves seemed to fir me pretty well though and I soon had a good working sequence to get through the overhang. There was one move afterwards that gave me a bit of trouble at first, but all in all, I managed to send it quite fast. Another beauty from Olivier (Lebreton) that deserves five stars in my personal and humble opinion.

Due to unexpected work in the house with my oldest son in the afternoon, which kept us busy until the evening and going to bed quite late for my usual habits, I felt quite exhausted this morning and as I wanted to finish what we started the day before, it was already around noon when I was able to go for a quick climb. Still wanting to do work in my barn, I stayed close to home and went to Rocher de la Cathédrale to try "J'aime tes G'noux", opened by Manuel (Marques). A small low roof with compression moves and where even Manuel, one of the most aesthetic climbers I know, used his knees for topping out. Hence the name of the problem. I felt in my element on it and didn't need much time to finish it off. It's not because of the knees, but I liked it.
