hey all. Me and a mate are off bouldering to font for two months+ staying at la musardiere campsite (the usual). Leaving next thurs so if anyones gonna be around fancy hooking up?

peace.

[tommytwotone]

alright, can't do the dates you're down but wanted to ask if anyone's down as of tomorrow? I'm doing 23rd-28th Feb if anyone's out there / going to be.

Drop me a PM yo.

[erm, sam]

Two months? Bit excessive don't you think! Bastard.

[Monolith]

2 months+ of sheer joy.cannot wait

[webbo]

i doubt i could survive 2 nights camping never mind 2 months.

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

2 months wow. Ive done a week before with one rest day and my tips were worn right through.  I guess such a long time would require plenty of skin recuperation days.

Cheers

yeah done over two weeks before but started to discover loads of stuff and got well stronger as time went on. 2 months camping my be a bit much but have a good few friends in paris who i can hook up with

[Resonate]

I did a month one year then 3 weeks the year after
both times i basically wrecked my arms.

be really careful not to overdo it, it's very tempting...

this year i'm not even sure i can go =[

We're leaving on Saturday, ya crazy fool

[Duma]

two months will be fine - I did six weeks in spring of 2004 and so long as you don't overdo it (say 2 out of three days) you'll be way strong and tuned in in a few weeks. Mightily jealous!

allow me to re-introduce myself...my name is T.O...

word, literally just stepped in the door from me trip to font. This is gonna be quick as my fingers and elbows be hurting, plus I'm knackered.

Weather was alright, rain/sleet/snow and overcast most of the time, but primarily dry. Annoyingly getting really good this afternoon just as I had to leave.

As for stuff done, learned some harsh lessons:

1) Lots of wall climbing doesn't prepare you for, like, being outside and using your feet and stuff. That said, came v close to la defroquee when it was in good nick today and now have a "razor crimp" mark across most of my fingers.

2) 7a really is hard if you're a punter.

Got lots of footage on video - mainly me doing easier stuff and falling off hard stuff, to be edited once I get time.

Just want to go back asap now!

[Monolith]

good stuff man. yeah sod wall climbing for font. On my first trip there, I learnt that it will take a fair amount of time to get to know the rock. Good footwork is imperative on so many problems, and this of course comes with spending an extended period of time at font. Glad to hear it was fun though man. Looking forward to our two month stay there which commences next monday yeah!
