It’s been really inspiring to meet several girls in the woods who climb hard. More of that! It has pushed my limits further and I’ve tried harder problems. Don’t know whether if it is mother power or a new mental strength, but it has made me climb another hard problem, Teamwork.

Had another go on Le pilier, but after falling again on the top move I decided to leave it for a few days. But today I went back. I met this local girl who I’d run in to a few days earlier. She had just done Les doigts verts so I felt the sending [...]

Stefan and I have this little battle – who can climb the most gold star problems? I have to admit I’m a little behind so far, but there are a few days left and I have my mental tick list. Last night I couldn’t really sleep well because I was thinking too much of [...]

Sometimes I wonder if I have a little ghost in my head. I was working this problem in Bas Cuvier and managed to do all the moves, but then fell on the top. Next try I got really nervous and jumpy. Probably because I knew I could do it and felt the pressure to [...]
