Go find the via ferrata ladder while you are there. Scarier than any sport route.

I think it got tamed a little bit so it’s no longer overhanging

I did it back in 2013 - though don’t remember it much other than there being loads of Marmots on top!

i think it is (or was) the top of a ski area, felt quite strange seeing drag lifts in the meadow up there; I had never been to a ski area in summer before (I have many times since).

Ha, fair dos. Thanks for replying. I'll not feel sorry for you, I only work 2 days a week! Although the rest is spent doing daddy day care so I don't do any climbing. :'(

Hey Duma, feel free not to answer if you don't want to, but I'm fascinated to know what you do for a living! Your Power Club entries always sound brutal!


I saw this and thought of Duma (sorry, Duma).

Late to the party here, and not in Ceuse...

Decided that I need to begin NOW with re-balancing my aerobic energy / anaerobic mix, so instead of trying to get in peak form for this season I'm just going to go out and get on projects and see what happens, learn some beta and see what I need to work on for next year. Aaaand, if I do magically get fit then I'll maybe get something ticked...

Mon: Aerobic Base: crimped app Aero 4s, O/S - 4 grades (6b target for now, mainly doing 6a/+/b today), 4 consecutive laps with no rest, 10 mins rest. Repeat 4 times.  Felt pretty mellow on set 1 and 2, getting pumpy in set 3 and set 4 was a bit of a fight to the finish but completed all reps. Followed up with a split lap on a 7b, decent rest and then a full lap on the 7b (soft) - probably junk miles but wanted to do something more mentally taxing.

Better to do harder stuff at the start of the session?

Tue - Sunday: NOTHING except a 400m race at the Blair Atholl Highland show!  Was on tour guide duty for sis and BF of OH. Took my new homemade portable FB bid didn't get a chance to use it.
