Post Font and a Craggy 2 reset

I was really hoping that my week away would keep my levels of fitness up and that I would come back and cruise through the problems down the wall. Whilst not exactly "cruising" I was pleasantly surprised with my efforts. I managed to onsight 2 of the hard problems ( 7a?? ), got two more on my second go and got a few more reasonably quickly.

October in Fontainebleau

Undetered by the poor looking forecast myself, Pete and Andre headed to Font with the aim of "crushing". Arriving at 4am in the pouring rain and have to put your tent up was not much fun. At 9am it was time to get up and to be honest the weather wasn't much better. Font is an amazing place though, after spending the morning stocking up on supplies for the next few days we were climbing by the afternoon. The rest of the week was much better and with only one forced rest day the trip had to go down as a great success. Sadly neither my SLR or video camera really made it out of the bag this trip but below is a list of my ticks for the week.

Le Papillon - 7a
Cadeau Assis - 7a
Destroy Men ( sortie directe ) - 7a
Vis a Vis - 7a
Tentation - 6c+/7a
Retrofriction - 7a
Syphilisse - 7a ( hard for the grade, 7a+ ??? )
Fantomas - 6c+/7a
Nostalgie - 6c+/7a
Mort Intime - 7a
Code Secret - 7a
Le Renard Bleau - 7a
Couguar Blanc - 7a

One week and counting

So less than a week until I'm heading back out to Fontainebleau. The training is going pretty well and I've been ticking the odd 7a down the wall and my ankle seems to be holding up. So seven days of solid climbing ahead, weather permitting. The camera is fully charged and I hope to capture a reasonable amount of footage for a new video.
