Day 1

After a long days traveling down on Sat with rain al the way as we got the gite (Maionbleau) early evening the rain cleared and the weather report for the next day looked promising. We woke early sunday morning to see sunny clear blue sky and off we went to 95.2. After warm up we turned are attention to the problem steph and robin wanted to try again, Retour aux Sources (fnt 7a). Steph and Robin started working the problem and we took advantage of the Beta. I almost flashed tthis on my first go but fall off the last move, but managed to send it second go. Lance managed to send it not long after. The rest were really close but not quite and vowed to come back and try again. Whilst this was happening Dean managed to do Tentation (Fnt 7a), we I also send after a few goes. Sie Flashed Le P'tit Toit / Le Tourniquet (Fnt 6c) and Adam got it second go.

Next we all moved on to Roche aux Sabots. Me and Deb went to try Bien Zen (Fnt 7a+), I did all the moves but couldn't quiet link it. Deb did the top and the bottom, but had trouble with the long move in the middle of the crux. Lance and Robin tried Jet Set but again couldn't quite hit the top, I managed to repeat this again after a few goes. Dean also did L'Oblique (Fnt 7a), but it was so dark he could not see the holds.
