Thanks @oskarlindby for the Midi granite day! Been reading Social Intelligence while in Verdon. 馃ジ馃馃く What is a book you recommend for climbing trips? Playing photographer in Verdon Gorge-ous! Today Secteur Lame Fatale 'Les Fils de l'Halt猫re et du Pan', as we continue to follow @oskarlindby's no-rest-day philosophy by climbing 'easier' 6s (5.11s) - BUT...! These routes are incredibly sandbagged, as the classics were oft graded in the 70s. Bof... #verdongorge Simul climbing limestone in a drizzle? It dries fast in Verdon! It rained 'comme une vache qui pisse' but Verdon is full of tunnels & caves! @oskarlindby Verdon Gorges with @oskarlindby 馃挄 Valse por Manon 6c 220m, Le Duc, Les Escal茅s Skiing is not like rock climbing, but I'm starting to figure it out! Thanks @oskarlindby for the birthday skiing and @honeydewjamm for the flowers! #mettlemonday Whatever happens, we shall continue with style. This is the lesson I've tried to live since leaving all things familiar in Boulder last Fall in order to dive into a place, a mountain, and skills that are totally new to me be staying the winter in Chamonix. For my birthday, I'm offering 100 friends a mini watercolor+ink for $10 donated to MBB! Link in bio.
