Pic du Pin

Pic de Pin 2006-12-30

Yesterday I wanted to climb the Pic de Pin with Sylvain and Romain, but unfortunately we didn't have the time to finish the route. It didn't really matter if we reached the summit or not, it was a nice hike and a beautiful climb. Sylvain and I really have to get good shoes; waterproof, warm and with a stiff sole. We'll see next year (which starts tonight!) Happy new year to everybody!
We're gonna have a big party at Heidi's place tonight à la Tronche, with a nice view of Grenoble. Whohoo

Uncyclopedia

The picture on the right was taken by me in the toilet at the hospital in the 'trouble de mouvement' unit. Where I worked the last five weeks.


Y'all know wikipedia, but how about uncyclopedia? It's the humoristic counterpart to the original. Just get onto the main site and start to read about something, anything...
It's hilarious!


Happy Christmas and a merry new year, and so on and so forth.

Trois Pucelles below freezing point

Les Trois Pucelles 2006-12-13

Well, one day after my last post this might sound like I did this just for the pictures... Anyway(s), today I did a multi pitch at the Trois Pucelles. A marvelous climbing site next to Grenoble. You can check out the pictures I took at my webalbum; you might also want to have a look at the the older pictures (I have been there before), that way you can see this crag from two different perspectives.
The route we chose was real nice, but it was so damn cold! There were icicles in the route! Snow everywhere and not the slightest sign of melting. The sun helped a bit, but when she was gone. My fingers got so cold, I couldn't feel anything. When I touched the rock or the metal of my quick draws there was no difference in temperature.
Well, in the end we made it too the summit, got back to the car with the last rays of light, where a snack awaited us... It was a great day.

Victor

Cats

Tenemos un nuevo gato! Se llama Victor, es muy joven, solamente tiene 4 meses. Es muy bonito y totalmente plateado, bueno, hay otros que dicen que es gris... ¿Que piensas tu? Puse más fotos de nuestros gatos en mi webalbum, que monos son! Los primeros días eran horribles por Victor porque Chausette no lo dejaba hacer nada. Claro, hasta que él ha venido, era la reina del apartamento; tiene que mostrarlo. Además Chausette es más grande y más fuerte. Por fin ella ha aceptado que ahora Victor vive aquí también. Ahora están jugando todo el tiempo, tengo miedo que vayan a destruir el apartamento. ;)

Les Deux Alpes

Les deux Alpes 2006-12-10

This week-end I finally went skiing, but due to the lack of snow, we had to go to Les Deux Alpes, a glacier. I don't like glaciers that much, because they tend to be quite flat and because of the crevasses... But it was a really nice beginning for this season. We even found some powder to leave our traces in! Indeed a great first day of skiing.
I added some pictures to my webalbum. It's been a long time that I uploaded images, but somehow I didn't take that many pictures recently. I guess because I didn't do that much new stuff, which would be worth capturing. Don't get me wrong, I did shiploads of climbing, but no multi pitches, which are way more photogenic.
