The morning dawned misty in the valley, so after a late breakfast of pain au chocolat and coffee in town we had a late start for a short midday session at Les Gaillands. The crag was deserted, as the holiday period was over, or was it because only English climb in the heat of the sun?
Pete led three routes which we alternately followed or led.
As it go hotter we ventured higher up the crag to get the full benefit of the searing heat! Pete found a powerful corner 6a which he led, Laetitia followed, and Ian swore at!
As the heat took its toll we escaped to the bottom of the crag where Pete showed off his slack-lining skills to the locals. While Ian and Laetitia went to the ice-cream telepherique to cool down.
Once again there were lots of small creatures to avoid on the crag. Can you name them?

Although Ian’s report embarrassingly implies I was able to demonstrate slack-lining skills well, what the picture hides is that I was terrible – just two steps and I was thrown off! 😳
No flips and somersaults? I’m deeply disappointed! 😉
No answers for the “monster quiz”!?
Well, A is a Camberwell Beauty.
