Drove to an RDV today looking at the Alps and lake Geneva the whole way, a little cloudy but nice...snow line is REALLY low for this time of year. Finished up a pleasant meeting and headed back to Valais CH. Did the bin run, etc then a stop in at Dorenaz to see if I could find someone to climb with. Success: the previously unknown Hube Caloz walks up and proposes the invite just as I'd opted for the solo rig rather than making the ask to 30+ teenagers...so cool.

Hube torches everything in sight looking like he's spent the past 25 years at Verdon. I managed to not embarrass myself too much, "deja vue" on all my routes, kinda slabby poof/verticle today but even so I'm stoked by the fact that my finger injuries didn't bleed...I might be able to pull down on a few decent ones at Ceuse after all.
