Flight tickets have been fundraised! We're COMMITTED! Three kids from @escalando_fronteras are going to have a life-changing experience. First attempt of the beautiful 32 pitch Salbitschijen West Ridge (Westgrat). Thanks @oskarlindby for the Midi granite day! Been reading Social Intelligence while in Verdon. 🥸🧐🤯 What is a book you recommend for climbing trips? Playing photographer in Verdon Gorge-ous! Today Secteur Lame Fatale 'Les Fils de l'Haltère 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 💕 Valse por Manon 6c 220m, Le Duc, Les Escalés 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
