Chamonix, in rain...again

Actually rain is just perfect now.

We're having a restday after a full day of drytooling. Deserved restday I guess. This morning I denied that I felt my muscles but now, sitting here I feel stiff and tired in my shoulders and arms.

Tomorrow it's time for yet another Alpine route (if the weather stays ok). Grand Charmoz we'll climb. Not as hard as the Americaine Directe, a bit shorter and thus more comfortable climbing.

Vimeo just tells me the new video is uploaded for 63% so soon a new video here about what we do on our holidays [we never call our trips 'holidays' as it's hard work and we need restdays when we get back home again]

Chillin'

After a week of climbing in Elbsandstein (Germany) and a hit&run to the annual Petzl meeting in Belgium I needed a 'day off'.

I woke up at 5 yesterday and was home again around 2-ish in the night. Long day...

So, updated my vegetable garden with maïs, carrots and other seeds and little plants, did some house cleaning and watched loads of short climbing movies.

Tomorrow 'work' again: the national lead competition in my home-town Bergschenhoek. Fun! But, strange after a week of outdoor climbing on scary protected sandstone :)

Soon more about my Elbsandstein adventure with a little video and some pictures.

And for now, No Pain No Spain, a video of Spanish Boreal/Petzl team-members having fun in the rocks. That rocks ;)
