Snagged a cool shot with the moonlight reflecting off of the mountains. Most of what is lit up is what I got to wrestle over this last week. Pingora, and Wolfs Head Traverse in the Wind River Range. So good. . . . . #windriverrange #pingora #wolfshead #climbing #trad #tradisrad #alpineclimbing #wyoming #explorewyoming #wyominglife #windrivercountry #cirquofthetowers #cdt2021 #cdt (at Cirque of the Towers) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwnPg8McQS/?utm_medium=tumblr

I literally didn’t even have to do anything for this to be funny.

Driven over to La Berarde with the Terminator (Andreas). We walked up to look at the south face of the Meije but due to risk of rockfall on the face and a dodgy looking descent we chose to climb a route on the west face called “nous partirons dans l’ivresse”

It was about 12 pitches. Max 6a. We thought it would be only part bolted but was actually fully bolted! I led the first crux pitch in the cold and had to keep my socks on as it was in the shade and felt quite brutal. I pulled on the quick draw over the over hang unfortunately! The rest of the pitches were really nice. A couple of tricky moves further up but nothing too hard. Nice climbing on gneiss rock. Even had a small crack to play on.

HIKING ICELAND LAUGAVEGUR: NOW EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Hiking Iceland Laugavegur is one of the most exciting hikes you can take on the island of Iceland. Crossing the mountains east and south of Reykjavik is a trip through hardened lava fields and snow-covered peaks, along gurgling rivers that smell like rotten eggs, and over tussock meadows with ancient rock formations.

What happens when your life partner’s youngest son of 16 years old asked you to take him for climbing? You make a list in your head of all the routes where you’d like to bring him. You think of some little huts you’d like him to spend the night. You make sweet little plans. Despite a tricky weather that forces us to slightly change our plans @mat__roche and I shared some really good times together. For Mat it was a total new environment and I was amazed how quick this kid adapted himself. After a nice warm up on the multi pitch route « Poème à Lou » at Brévent, we dove into the big bath with a really nice Gervasutti route on the Pointe Adolphe Rey. Awesome climbing, good rock and just the right exposure. I really enjoyed the time we spent together, It’s been great to watch this young man climbing well and enjoying himself in the alpine terrain. I hope I did a good job giving proper knowledge, tips and advices but mostly with sharing the love for the mountains. Thank you Mat for trusting me, for holding the rope and for the laughters. Can’t wait to share some more times in the Mountains with you. Pic 1, 2 and 4: First steps in the Alpine climbing environment for Mat on the Gervasutti route at Pointe Adolphe Rey Pic 3: Myself enjoying the amazing granite rock Pic 5: Mat sunbathing at Brevent Pic 6: the two of us.
