Day 6 -7

Day 6 - The Sky was clear and ground seemed dry so we all rushed off to find some dry rock. Me, Deb, Lance, Lou, Steve, Robin and Steph ended up at La Gorge aux Chats. After warming people turned then attentions to the projects. Most wanted to try Sa Pelle au Logis (Fnt 7a), but the weather had other ideas as it started rain. We quickly covered the top holds to keep them dry and they carried on working the bottom moves. Rob went back to working Rubis sur l'Ongle (Fnt 7b+) so I joined in after trying this the year before I wonder how I would be do. Mean while others were still trying Sa Pelle au Logis (Fnt 7a). Lance managed to repeat all of this apart from the top out as it was still covered, Lou worked a good sequence and did all apart from the last hard move. With a quick break in the rain we uncovered the top holds and Deb managed to do the problem including topping out on the damp slopers. I pulled onto Rubis sur l'Ongle as it started to rain again but kept going , I got to my high point and got my foot on the crucial foot hold and popped to the "ruby" hold. To my surprise caught it and realised I could not let go and have to finshed it now. With it still raining I managed to carry on and get to the top.


Mean while the others had gone to Cuisiniere to try Bettle Juice. Progress was made but no one did it. The rain was not helping and fun was had trying the black 4 next to it and topping out in the wet and using the log on the top.

Day 7 - The last day, some had to leave early to catch the ferry home. Other's had some time for one last climb. Most headed of to Bas Curvier but no luck was had although Robin came close to Duroxmanie again but fell of the top again. Tam had gone to Cul de Chein to try le Toit Cul de Chien (Fnt 6c) but didn;t have enough left to finish it. Me And Deb had other plans as headed of to Apremont, we got there to find perfect condition. Typical last day with good condition. Deb went straight to Jeremiades assis (Fnt 7a+) , she had a score to settle. After warming up and getting close she still could not make the crucial move. She Decided to change her sequence, this was it the key had been found. Have after a good rest she slapped the top hold and it was over. We still had 2 hours left before we need to leave so we rushed over to Retablissement (Fnt 7a). She had got close in the dark a couple days earlier but it was to late she was tired and skins was too sore. I decided to quickly decided to try L'Hyper Plomb (Fnt7a) which I had tried the year before with no joy. But after a few goes and some local beta I was topping out and it was done. Time to packed up and go home.
