headed down to branson for a few days, first day at dorenaz opening some new boulder problems and doing some roped soloing...freaking hot. day 2 i picked up bernard from martigny station and headed up through verbier (both have TDF stages 19 and 21 july) to pierre avoi, we did a couple of routes on the grande face for 400m of climbing 6a to 6b plus. route 2 was ponce pirate and every pitch was great, thoroughly recommend it particularly pitch 2. only got 2 routes left up there and they sound nice and hard so i'll try and knock them off next week...45th birthday celebration tomorrow and thinking about it this morning with the way i've pushed it over the years its amazing i got there.

reading a book by bonatti at present, he was one ballsy italian.
