Boulder action in Rocher de la Reine

Today, we had a lazy morning :-) we slept in to 09:00 after awaking to the 07:00 o’clock rain shower 🌧 . Then, we watched the Euraktiv discussion on Bertram’s co-authored “Systems change compass” - interesting and so proud :-)

Then we ventured into the Carrefour to stock up on some fresh ingredients before the weekend when likely more people would be out shopping. 👍🏼

Then, it was finally time to hit the road to the “Bois Rond” parking area from which we were going to reach the still unknown area of “Rocher de la Reine”. Anna had tirelessly researched a suitable spot following the extensive rain. The area proved awesome!

We started to warm up with an easy blue bolder and then started with the first “real” problem - “Baby Boum” (left variant) 6a+. After some difficulties initially, we found a good solution and both sent it! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Then we wandered around with our sandwiches and found a lot of more nice looking, interesting problems! Bertram tried another 6b and got the to the top and Anna found a new “favorite problem” on a 6a+ overhang :-) need to come back soon!

At home, we had a good evening with a fast meal (leek-veggie minced meat-cream sauce with polenta) and an episode of Babylon!Lue lisää
