Picture
Caption: Here we go, back on the
Grand Capucin for the second round,
Caro set herself a small goal: going until the crux pitch to work it.
Picture
Caption: My goal is the Voie Petit,
8b max on Grand Capucin.
I want to focus on it next summer, and this year
is about understanding
what kind of challenge
I have set myself.
Having the topo is one thing, touching the rock is another one!
For our second time,
we felt more confident
on the walk on the glacier.

A selfie for Francisco the photographer and filmmaker, a drone for James the geek and the cooking for me :).

with this full moon...

and then time to jump
on the first 70 m pitch.
Picture
Caption: 3rd pitch, and the satisfaction to see that we are getting faster. With 500m to go, speed is a crucial factor.

Caption: My grigri girl, patient while I worked the crux pitch. What a beautiful pitch, hats off to Arnaud Petit!

Caption: Baby step after baby step, we are going up. The Grand Capucin will be a patience game...
