This weekend sweet amazing Nat had to work on Werchter festival. So i went to font with the boys.
Me, Jeremy, Jan, Yannick and Paul set off on what promissed to be a very hot weekend in font.
We had a horrible drive up, with all the holliday people on the road it took us about 6 hours on friday afernoon to arrive at rocher Guichot.
I had seen 'Coup de force' 7c+ on the 'Out of sight' movie from Neil Hart and was excited to go try this problem.
We quickly made work of the easier problems on this bloc but figuring out the conventions and beta on the harder 'Coup de force' was a challenge. We decided to use the pedestal and came to a 7b/+ grade.(at home we found out not to use the pedestal was the convention....).After this we noticed it was 23.00 and we still had to make food,we ate pasta around midnight...
The morning after we did some amazing red circuit problems at Guichot all 4* problems. We figured out all the moves on 'l'Atelier' 8a and im sure i will send this one very soon :D.
The 7b 'la duegne assis' took us some time but eventually Jan, yannick and i sent the boulder.
In the afternoon we decided to have a look at 'Hotline' 7c, a pure and high classic 4 star boulder problem, none of us had adequate beta to make a quick send so we had to work this one till we found some way to stick the slopey jugs at the end.
Unexpectedly in the last attempt i stuck the (1, 2 hup) move and did it. What a feeling!
After this we couldn't get enough of the highballs we agreed to have a quick dinner and walked up to 'Tonnere de brest' 7b.
This one went down fast for me and yannick.
Sunday we agreed to meet with Siem and Koen (two climbers i am training back at City lizard), at 'L' apparemment a very peculiar 8a problem on toe hooks.
Here we did 'paul's boutique' 7a+ and 'l'illusioniste'7a+ , soon the 15.00 hour mark had arrived and we had to leave before rush hour, what a perfect weekend lou reed would sing.
