ive spent four days bouldering on the sandstone of annot.
the place is killer.
lots lots to do.

perfect rock, nice texture, peace, no crowds, something like 20 plus sectors, good food, cheap.

[Stubbs]

You look exactly like my brother. Are we related?

[Nibile]

if hes incredibly strong at climbing...
no.

[Nibile]

really,
who knows.
my grandfather (from my fathers side) was one of eleven or twelve sons. two died in the II WW, one in africa and one in the mediterran in a submarine, the rest are more or less spread around, emigrated.
i have for sure close relatives with my same second name in new jersey and buenos aires, but dunno about the rest.

[the_dom]

if hes incredibly strong at climbing...
no.

I seriously doubt that we're related Nibile - half my family being Greek, the other half being Irish. Somehow they all ended up in South Africa, or close enough to it to breed..

But you really do look like my brother, who doesn't climb anymore, btw.

You told a fib!


When I met your brother in Asia this Spring, he was climbing SHIT HOT!  See:

Ah, you're such a card..

Need I point out that that is actually your mom, and that we don't really need to see your family snaps here?

[Houdini]

Dude, you need an new eye test.

As you can see from this recent picture (taken in Annot, after pissing a V13+) she looks nothing like your brother!

mon dieu, tu voulez dire B13!!!!!
dont you know they use the annot grading system?

[Houdini]

Well don't tell me!  Have a go at me old dear!  (She's very traditional & she bloody-well hates the French!)  And I think she does alright for 79!  Tell ya dude, she ain't no oil painting - I know - but when it comes to sloping gastons on savage terrain, well, the bitch is unstoppable!

Sorry, in retrospect, we may be related, as she looks remarkably like my mum.

You don't have any brothers, do you?

[Houdini]

I do.  One.  20 years my junior.  But he is a 'beautiful angel' - and looks nothing like the 'booted wastrel' Mother and I resemble.

I had a word with Mother regarding her insistence on using V grades in Annot (and elsewhere).  Turns out, she had a "bit of a fling" with John Sherman, back in 1967! 


Annot!    The place where you can do bo-diggidy stuff like this:


 
TOP CRAG!   Go there!  Just watch out for Mother on the hunt for hot repeats.  And take care!  She's dead-against pof, but partial to witchcraft...
