Ascents in La Montagne Sainte-Victoire

L1 jusqu'à la grotte, pas forcément dans la voie, rappel depuis l'arbre au milieu des 2 grottes.

Descente de nuit après L3 par le chemin noir

Attention terrain d'aventure, 5 points pour 40 mètres, la route part sur la gauche, frayeur assurée en ratant le dernier point. Achetez le topo pour grimper à la sainte victoire.

This was going very well and I was quite excited, but it was super hot and we were climbing in the sun. Those are my excuses for taking a fall on an 18 during my epic climbing trip. Tough for the grade though... Anyway, reality is, nothing above grade 14 was going to be sent in this trip. Welcome to your 40s.

This was quite exciting to get on, with the grades feeling much harder than they were supposed to be and bolts very far apart. Having some trad gear was crucial. I got fully lost following a diagonal crack in pitch 2 and ended up really far from the belay we were supposed to be at — there are anchors everywhere on that wall! It was super hot in the sun (we started at 12pm in summer!). We had to come down as I wouold have had to downclimb-traverse to find the right anchor and Em was not keen for that.
