Stuff

It's been a very long time since my last post. Sorry. Lots of my friends stopped posting as well, what's going on? Erik? Adrien? Dani? Romain? Andi? Come on!

Today I sent my first 7b in Ötztal / Tumpen !!! Very proud. 40m tiny hold madness. very techincal. My style I guess.

I've been bouldering in the Zillertal at the Sundergrund, a magical place. Especially on that day - Snow all over the place. On the boulders all around them, really pretty. O and how gorgeous the granit boulders are, those shapes...
I learned something there: Flip-Flops are quite handy in the snow (you don't mind if they get wet)

Sundergrund

Lately I was climbing a lot, it was just too warm for skiing (for my taste at least)
but earlier this year I did some great skiing in austria: Saalbach & Nordkette (Innsbruck)

Adrien and Anna, from Grenoble and Sweden, came to visit me, which was really nice. It felt so lovely to talk french again. They stayed almost 2 weeks so I had the time to show them some of the best climbing spots in Tirol and we went skiing in very good conditions - lots of powder! Definitely the best days this winter. We also met Joaquín from Spain who stayed in Grenoble last year as well.

Encore un peut du ski

Voila les photos de mes dernières sorties de ski.

Les 7 Laux 2007-01-25

Les Deux Alpes 2007-02-15

ça va vous surprendre, mais la neige était bonne!
Par contre la semaine dernière c'était vraiment nulle, j'ai même pas pris des photos...

En fait si on compte mes sortie cette année, je pense que c'était le pire ans de toute ma vie. C'est dommage qu'il n'y avait pas des bonnes conditions, j'aurais eu le temps de faire beaucoup plus de ski en France. Mais vu les conditions pourri, je n'ai pas eu envie. L'année prochain je ne vais plus être là et je voulais vraiment voir beaucoup de stations ici.

Alpes d'Huez and Deux Alpes

Alpes d'Huez 2006-12-27

Deux Alpes 2007-01-03

Added two skiing trips to my photo album. Alpes d'Heuz and Deux Alpes. I broke my snowboard on Thursday, which really sucks. Not repairable; RIP. I'll need to get a new one, if want to go snowboarding this season...

I updated all my previous posts and replaced the pictures with direct links to the whole photo albums. Should be much nicer to navigate for you now :)

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.
