The French alp weather is another world. It blizzards, it scorches, it howls in different elevations at different hours. Avec toutes les coutures! (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. Volunteering as @mountainsbeyondborders makes me happy :) Can't tell you how happy I am that climbing season has started in the alps!! Let's project! Most helpful answer gets a prize. Question comes from a climbing gym in Virginia. Will you be at @outdoorretailer?
