(With all the sewing/angles) The one boulder in Chamonix is called Orthenaz, and it has a 4-day festival! 🤯 Let's go BOWWWDERING! It's climbing season in Chamonix, even though it's raining all week. Stay motivated, whatever you're doing - embrace what truly makes you happy, even if it's forced rest days.
