• Training and skydiving...
  Those last weeks where quite bad for climbing outside... But perfect for training at home the few days we were there!!                                                              Nothing special... just having fun for a while on plastic.... And as soon as the blue sky came back, we went in the area of Gap. There is Ceuse for climbing but also Tallard for skydiving... Imagine the perfect day : jumping with your boyfriend on mornings and climbing on the Ceuse's Limestone on afternoons... Pinch yourself... you're not dreaming ! This could be your realiity ! A few pic of skydiving, nothing super special but fun to see for those who don't know how it works... (photos : E. Paillard)                                 The plane... a Pilatus...                        Inside the Pil... Concentrating or sleeping ?                                    Bulk Exit                              "Meat Bomb" in the sky...
• White Wedding
                                                  (Version Française à la fin..) So... Our trip is almost finished, in a few hours we'll drive to the airport, going back to France... It's crazy how time flies... Smith Rock is definitely a great place for climbing and fun : nice rock, nice lines and very kind locals to climb and stay with...                                                                                                                                        ©_Sonnie Trotter                                                     Scenic view from the top of the Monkey Face Here it's just a picture to show the "main" wall, Morning Glory wall, on a "not busy day".                                                                                                                                         ©_Andrew    Dunbar                                 Looking for the beta on the tricky arête of "Vicious Fish" (5.13c) For the last few days I've been focused on White Wedding, which I just sent today, on my last day here. Besides the numbers (White Wedding is probably more a 5.13d than a 5.14a), it was a good challenge to work on this route and to commit on my climbing as it has been a while since I tried a "hard routes". I don't many pictures this time... It was better to stay focused on my climbing instead on photos once...                                                                                                                                       ©_Andrew Dunbar                                                        White Wedding, lower crux                                                                                                                                        ©_Andrew Dunbar                                                             Dynamic move or falling ?                                                                                                                                       ©_Andrew Dunbar                                     Climbing is fun, happiness and shared moments Bye Bye to all the people we've met here, special thanks to Sierra and Mark, Bryan (the "lucky belayer" on WW) and of course Mattt and my close friends Shelley and Andrew... Et voilà, notre trip touche déjà à sa fin....Pfffff.... Dans quelques heures c'est la route pour l'aéroport et le long voyage pour revenir en France... Nous avons vraiment profité de la grimpe ici en dépit d'un météo chaotique et l'idée de prolonger le séjour nous a bien effleuré plus d'une fois ! J'ai vraiment aimé l'escalade ici : escalade bien spécifique, verticale, technique et souvent engagée... Bien old school... Et pour rendre l'escalade encore plus agréable, les locaux ont vraiment un bon esprit : tous ceux que nous avons rencontrés ont été particulièrement sympathiques, ouverts et accueillants... Quelues photos, pas des plus mythiques parce que j'avais choisi l'option "pas de photographe plus de grimpe".... ;-)                                                                                                                                        ©_Sonnie Trotter                                                     Une petite vue générale depuis le sommet du Monkey Face Celle-ci, c'est juste pour vous montrer le mur "principal" : le Morning Glory wall                                                                                                                                         ©_Andrew    Dunbar La voie s'appelle "Vicious Fish" (8a+/8b) et j'ai passé un petit moment à déchiffrer les méthodes de cette arrête bien technique... Les mouv sont vraiment classes ! Quelques mots sur "White Wedding" que j'ai réussi ce matin, dernier jour du trip évidemment. Cela faisait un moment que je n'avais pas travaillé de voie un peu plus dure et réussir un petit "chantier" est toujours fort sympathique ! Indépendamment "du chiffre" (la voie est côté 8b+ mais nous sommes plusieurs à penser qu'il s'agit d'un 8b), je suis bien contente d'avoir retrouvé de bonnes sensations, la capacité à récupérer dans la voie et à rester lucide jusqu'au relais...                                                                                                                                       ©_Andrew Dunbar                                                        White Wedding, le crux du bas...                                                                                                                                        ©_Andrew Dunbar                    Il m'aura posé quelques problèmes ce mouvement du mono/bi... Ce n'est pas vraiment mon style préféré...                                                                                                                                       ©_Andrew Dunbar                                     Grimper...du plaisir, de la joie et des moments forts partagés, c'est simple ! Ciao à toutes les personnes que nous avons rencontrées ici, un grand Merci à Sierra & Mark, Bryan (le "lucky belayer" dans WW) et bien sûr, Mattt et mes amis proches, Shelley & Andrew de Boulder...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
• Smith Rock
  What's new ? Smith Rock was a lengedary cliff for sport climbing in the late eigthies. What cimber hasn't dreamt of the line "Just do it" ? (5.14c) The First Ascent was made by JB Tribout in 1992...."To bolt or not to be" is another really technical famous route where more than one climber has been shut down. JB did also the First Ascent in 1986... it was the first 5.14 in US...                                             On the trail on our way to climb. So here we are, in this amazing place... The climbing is very technical, small holds on vertical walls, just how I like it. The routes are usually a little (and sometimes a lot) run out (hehehe) but this makes the challenge even nicer... Back to the source... ;-)                                 Warming up on "Vomit Launch" at the Cocaine Gully wall Since we've been here, the weather has been a little unpredictable... Cold for a while, warm just after... and we also had a few days of snow... I usually love the snow but waking up with the white powder on your balcony is not that exciting when you are on a climbing trip... Despite the weather, we are all having fun and psyched to climb even under the snow...                                                    The snow... Nice but crazy !  Anyway, so far I've climbed a few nice routes to get back in shape after 3 weeks "up and down" due to something I brought back from India and that made me quite tired and weak. I've started to work "White Wedding" a few times and all the moves are going well. The next step is now to link them and go to the anchor... Easy to say, challenging to do...                                         Working on White Wedding under the snow... More news soon.... Cheers                                                                                                                 Photos : Andrew, Mattt
• Back to the last few weeks...
  The last past weeks were very busy and fantabulous ! Now I'm back to my sweet place, enjoying life, ski as the snow just felt and training on plastic... But the great feelings and memories of the last few weeks are still very omnipresent in my minds... Can't stop thinking about the Outdoor Games in Chamonix where we all had so much fun ! Enjoy the final cut here, and don't forget to vote for it ! Afterward, we flew thru Mumbay - India, and took the long road for Hampi... A paradise for bouldering in a very special atmosphere that I've never found anywhere else... This trip was a wonderfull experience and for many reasons !     The life in India... it seems that time stopped while we were over there...    The climbing, the rock and the huge potential of Hampi...     The people we met there and share great moments with...     We won't thanks enough Vaibhav for all he did for us, for his enthousiam and freshness to share his happiness     while succeeding on a problem.... Watching him climbing was always a pleasure and a special moment ! The         good spirit between us and with the others climbers that we met... For sure, I will return in Hampi and visit others places as well ! The last pictures...                             Hampi's elephant taking his bath every morning...                     ©_E.Wendenbaum Goan Corner, one of the climbers lodge where we stayed. A cool and relaxing place...               ©_A.Ballay                     Boulders everywhere, temples everywhere, serenity everyday...         ©_E.Wendenbaum Speaking with the locals is not always easy but all the Indian people we met were really nice and helpfull.... Here, with the kids...                                                                                     ©_E.Wendenbaum I couldn't climb for 2-3 days without pain because of a small infection on my little toe. The guys found the solution and killed my brand-new paire of Cobra...                                                            ©_E.Wendenbaum                                                       Small crimps and grimace...                             ©_A.Ballay                               Walking thru the last boulder of the day at "Baba Café" place             ©_A.Ballay
• HAMPI LIFE
  There's soooo much to say about our days here !The people, the climbing, the good vibes, the skin pain and the food... Behind the pictures I hope I could share a little of those great moments with you... (photos : Axel Ballay, Mike Fuselier) Typical India Kids... so full of life ! Axel playing with the rock Mike succeed on "Middle Way" by night "Myself" in "ninety degrees edge" a pure angle... A new boulder that we decided to call "fingers Killer" Ju, focus behind his camera Playing "Jane"
• HAPPY HAMPI
  Every sunrise is the sign of a new day. Here every new day means new places, new boulders, new climbs and new emotions to share. Our crew have a lots of fun, climb hard and  most of all we realize how lucky and happy we are to be here. Photos by Evrard Wendenbaum Another view of Hampi's area... Boulders and boulders everywhere... A new project for the boys... Ju looking for the beta Evrard, when he's not shooting or climbing... Swimming in the lake... a break that we all enjoyed ! " Like a hunter" a nice and well known boulder here
• Namaste !
  After an epic story to get a new visa at the last minute we finally managed to reach India. This country is beautifull, full of colors, rich of magic landscapes and history. Indian people are very lifefull, always smiling, always nice, it's incredible. Evrard, Vaibhav (our local guide and friend) and I went thru Hampi where we met the rest of the crew : Mike, Axel and Ju Nadiras. All of us are so lucky to be here ! I was looking since a long time to came here, inspired by the pictures I've seen before. But the reality is far better that I excpected it would be. The climbing is awesome on this big ball of granite. Boulders are just everywhere around us. We start to get used now with the warm and the aggressive rock, psyched to climb in such an unbelievable place... A few pics... by Axel Ballay and Mike Fuselier...                                                        Hampi and it's boulder Chaos                                            One of the incredible colored and Human part of India                                     My first boulder in Hampi just to get used with the height                                                        Axel in action... Just another crazy dyno... More action pics soon...
