Ascents in Rocher des Souris

beim 2. Versuch bereits den Dyno geknackt.. 3. Versuch dann send

Nice one hand dyno, jump higher the hold is better

Cool Dyno, top out is harder than the jump.

hit the hole a few times but didn't stick it... would be fun if you are good at dynos. Cédric did a static from the undercling

easy fin en no foot Soft

Cruisy start sequence to a thuggy final move.

So very pleased with the progress made by the end of this session. Managed to link the three parts I had worked and fell off heading for the victory mantle. I forgot the last right foot placement. Oh well next time.

Spent the morning working on the last section and the top out move. Still a very tough move for me, but building technique and strength for a better outcome. Good progress on the first 11 moves and better efficiency throughout the linked sections.

ca. 10 Versuche..

bit hard

Bloc sympas crux au reta

Day one on this new project was a ton of fun, with a good fall and working all the lower positions from the start to the end of the traverse out of the cave. This is a new movement feast and its about 7 metres of total climbing. Looking forward to this continued fight for sure!! Today was the first battle and I got hammered. The war continues

Snygg sten, bra flytt. Travers.

2nd Go

First problem of the day. Went pretty easily this time.

Training day.......Lap 1

Training day.......Lap 2

Training day.......Lap 3

Training day.......Lap 4

First shot today.......unexpected and very pleased indeed.

Decided to start working this to try and figure out the technical crux prior to trying the 7B version again, but it was so much fun that it has become possible to send in two or three sessions. It'll go for sure now I know the complete sequence through the crux.

Linked the crux on 8 of 10 attempts today. Climbed through the last 10 metres and managed to do the finish as well. Happy with the progress. Now time to link this monstrosity.

Manage to link the crux and climb the problem to the last move before tumbling off. Great progress and happy with it. Should go pretty soon!

Decided to begin working this monster to build fitness and endurance again after my injury and hiatus from climbing. It's a mega project at the grade. 36 or so moves with a very technical and powerful 8 move crux. 16 metres of fun climbing on slopers, at times with marginal feet. Made very good progress session 1. Really surprised myself sorting all the moves to the crux and worked the crux with good progress before the fatigue set in. If you only climb the classics in Bleau, you miss out on so many incredible hidden gems. I believe this to be one of them. The aller-retour (there and back) at 7C (V9) will be insane!!!

Another session on the beast. Whilst progress was made and more fitness gained, the crux is still allusive. Due to my morphology I am unable to release the right heel once placed without moving my left foot (where all the weight is). I have found a different sequence that may allow me to progress, however I need to work it fresh and not after working the first 15 moves 8 times in a row. While this is a project, it is also a great way to get fit again and I will continue to work it..........having the motivation again and feeling like I will not injure myself is a great confidence boost.

went back to the monster on the way home today. Remembered all the moves into the crux and fell in the crux. Oh well it was great to reacquaint myself with this beasty after so long. Injuries are all healed and starting to feel capable again. The journey continues.

Flash go without last part of the topout mantle that was still dripping wet.
