For once, a sad post...The cat at my parents' place died last week, at the age of almost 16, which is fine for a cat, especially since she had been in very good shape until 6 months ago, still running like a kitty! My mum was reminding me that before leaving for New Zealand 8 years ago, I though I would not see her again, which had made me sad at the time... Somehow, I saw her many more times.<br />
<br />
Anyway, these past few weeks, she had got something in the stomach which made she could not eat any-thing... She would call my mum for some food, my mum would give her something, and Mimichou would just look at it without being able to eat... In some sense, I am glad to not have seen this.<br />
<br />
One morning, my mum woke up. Mimichou was on the floor, in epileptic status. She had been waiting for my mum to wake up. She stood up as she could, called for my mum to take her in her arms... (she always has been a very talkative cat) This calmed her, and two minutes later, she was gone... When my mum told me this, this made me sad and smiling at the same time.<br />
<br />
Mimichou, tu as toujours ete un chat tres classe!</div>

The initial plan was to go to Mont Rebei, a famous place for adventure rock climbing. But the weather forecast was for rain all the night before, so we decided to change plan for a sunnier climb which would dry faster... I suggested a route called "Mare Tenebrossum", in the region of Oliana... The route is quite long (340m for 11 pitches), and presents 2 huge roofs which have to be aid climbed. I though it could be "fun"...<br />
<br />

About the name of the climb, the Mare Tenebrossum (Dark Sea in English) was for the Romans the ocean Atlantic, which was supposed to drop in some huge precipe eventually, populated by monsters, diseases, and which has regular big storms. In any case, not a place where you would want to venture, unlike the Mediterranean sea, or Mare Nostrum in Latin.<br />

<br />
Forgetting about this, we started the 1h30 hike in at 9am, probably a bit late... I took the lead for the first third of the route. The first 3 pitches are the ones of an other route, are quite nice, and bolted. Then our route goes out left-ward in order to reach the big overhangs, and the atmosphere changes radically: very little equipment, some parts of dodgy rock... I lead until pitch 5, when Dany takes its turn for 2 pitches of more "equipped" climbing but more difficult as well, on vertical rock...<br />
<br />
By equipped, I mean <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMnMYQ4qNAxskI4WSJUj2yGl6K4m9pU40w9U2WhXhvNwXQyP6k43qGuBYPVqwI-1ARo3of9ChVmq5OL7QbkVICDFr7KtqTp9VFKFocOI8cai7tU5-462m0Sp2__oedL9FPtw180Yw51uEu/s320/2.jpg">burils</a>, which are what were used before bolts appeared, and obviously don't compare to bolts in terms of resistance... There are still found in many not-so-travelled climbs, and sometimes are in a bad state... That is part of the "fun" of what is called "classica" climbing in Spain, which is often a mix of trad and aid climbing, and equipped with a mix of things, when there is equipment in-situ... Maybe the most apropriate definition is "climbs which have kept the ethic of the first ascent". Knowing that back in the day they had more balls than we do, it usually means that having a solid head is more important than the sport climbing skills...<br />
<br />
Back to the climb, on pitch 8 starts the real fun. It's a pitch of aid climbing (equipped with some old burils which you have to use as there are no options of pitoning...). The pitch goes by a large roof, maybe of 5-6 metres, leading to a very uncomfortable belay station, in a very exposed spot! The void starts to be very palpable...<br />
<br />
Now, obviously, going down is not an option any-more... <br />
<br />
Albert starts pitch 9, which is probably the most impressive pitch I have ever done. The pitch starts by 20m of aid climbing, going over an other big roof, equivalent in size to the first one. Aid climbing this part, the exposure now is amazing... You left the vertical world for a world of void... Void void void... I am not sensitive to vertigo in general, but I have to admit that I was climbing with some stomach cramps this time...<br />
<br />
After the roof, you are left with 25m of climbing of grade 6a, and totally unequipped... The first part cannot be protected, and as such you have to climb quite above the last dodgy buril... Definitely some serious climbing, I was very glad not to be leading on that pitch, as I was already scared to second it... Then Albert manages to put some pros and the climbing cools down... At least the rock is of the best quality on this pitch.<br />
<br />
At the 9th belay station, we look at the time... It's almost 7pm, which means no more than an hour of daylight, for 2 remaining pitches... We have been going slow... Albert spent a bit of time looking after the start of next pitch, again a grade 6a with no equipment. As such, the way to go is not obvious at all since there are no indices where to go... I ear Albert moaning loud that the protections he did put are shit, that he does not know where he should go... And then come a few "se me cago en la puta" or "se me cago en la mare que em va parir", which are very explicit insults... Very rare for such a calm climber as he is... There I ear Albert shouting to himself "stop to be a pussy, and just climb this shit". So he does, and reaches the belay station, a solid tree attached to the crag. Me and Dany reach him just at full darkness...<br />
<br />
Remains the easiest pitch (French grade 5)... But it starts to rain a bit, just to add some more fun to the climb... Bloody Murphy's law... Albert nevertheless solve this pitch easily, and express loudly his happiness to be finished the climb. I had to climb this pitch in full darkness, since I had forgotten my head-torch in the car... idiot...<br />
<br />
We are all together at the top at 9pm, very tired, but happy to have made it! After some fun night walking, we reached the car 2h30 later, and Barcelona by 3am... As Dany said very correctly that we lucky to have Sunday to recover before starting the working week... Sunday which I spend in the couch no doing more than farting around on the internet, reading, or eating.<br />
<br />
Personally, I learned quite a lot on that climb. First, it is the first time I am so dominated by a climb. If Albert wouldn't have been with us, I don't think I would have managed it, and that we would have had to at least spend a bad night on the cliff, or maybe even call for rescue... Two reasons for this: first, I spent a lot of energy in the aid climbing part because I am inexperienced in this kind of climbing. Neither I had the best gears for it. Secondly, I am not yet mentally prepared for this kind of seriousness, which I guess you can only improve by experience.<br />
<br />
But overall, the feeling of adventure was somehow thrilling, so I wouldn't mind to start it again... but not right now! :D<br />

I could check that my nephews still have a lot of energy, that Alsace is a pretty region (especially in autumn), and that my sister is still a fantastic cook! :p<br />
<br />
And about the side effects:<br />
- pumpkin fondue (note the string&foil technique to avoid a catastrophe)<br />
- first snow <br />
- 2.5kgs of cepes! <br />
- a cat (for Donn)<br />
- some pretty lights on the local vineyards<br />
<br />
PS: photos are from my brother in law, Sebastien, who is enjoying is new camera!<br />

Bruno (master Boulet) came for a few days around Barcelona to get a taste of the local climbing before the skiing season starts. The weather being average at the beginning, we took the drive south to the world famous Siurana... Bruno could enjoy the great limestone climbing, the scenery, and the food!<br />
<br />
After 2 days there, the weather improved up north, and we went to my beloved Montserrat, where we joined Joan for a multipitch climb in the pretty "pinnacles" sector, and Bruno could discover the local crazy conglomerate, and its difficult style of climbing... I love this place, its so beautiful!!! <br />
<br />
But sorry, no boulettes to talk about, despite the presence of myself and Bruno... I guess this makes a boring post?<br />
<br />
PS: the pics are from Bruno!<br />

This Saturday, we went one more time to Montserrat with Carles to climb a multipitch route. It was way too warm to do our initial plan which in full sun, and we climbed plan A', a nice and easy 300m route in the shade on great rock. The route is called Easy Rider.<br />
<br />
The climb went really well. At the top of the pinnacle, the wind was strong, and I was putting back my running shoes with great care not too loose anything... Carles was more confident, and left his backpack unattached... He was thinking that he had heavy things in it so the wind can't blow it away: a pair of climbing shoes, and his car keys... and anyway, he has been in Montserrat with much more wind, and nothing has never happened... <br />
<br />
While we were setting up the abseil, we saw his backpack rolling away from us, and jump a 200m cliff... with the cars keys in it! The infamous "car keys" joke was not a joke this time.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
Romaric: oh shit, do you have the car keys?<br />
Carles: no, they got blew away by the wind...<br />
R. : hmm, that's a bit annoying... so I guess we have to go and search for them!<br />
C. : venga, vamos!<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
So we abseiled and got off the pinnacle. After messing around a bit (i.e. bush bashing, using New Zealand terminology), we found the gully where the bag would have gone... Well, it wasn't an easy gully to go down, and the terrain was quite rough around... We went up and down on some part of the gully, just getting lost in some bluffs every time... It was really warm, and we started to be quite dehydrated by then... eventually, we resigned to go down to the car. Of course, Carles didn't left it open, not like last time...<br />
<br />
Luckily, we found some very friendly climbers who gave us a ride to the closest town. Carles could call the spanish auto club, after drinking a couple of litters of water. They opened the car so we could get our belongings (flat keys, mobile phones...)... Overall, we were back to Barcelona by midnight...<br />
<br />
Welcome to Carles to the B4 club! (for the details, it grades <a href="http://frenchiiiiie.blogspot.com.es/2011/05/proposal-for-boulette-grading-system.html">B4-iomlc</a>)</div>

Well, as the title suggests, a good story for Travis... Saturday, after twisting my ankle the day before (see previous post), we went climbing with Carles to Montserrat. He suggested a classic route which he hasn't done before... This should have rung a bell as he has been climbing for years in the region, and had climbed most of the classics... Moreover, taking the excuse he is just coming back to climbing after a bad accident, he offered me the honor to climb the crux pitch... Thank for that, bro!<br />
<br />
I discovered later that this crux pitch was not only a classic, but a mythic and terrifying pitch! It is basically a 35m off-width crack (OW in the guidebook, this should have rung an other bell...), which is way too wide to protect, but not large enough to climb easily as in a chimney... There were 3 bolts, the first one 15m above the belay station... an other bell which I didn't listened to, as Carles was telling me that this part is supposed to be the easiest... my arse!<br />
<br />
I went inside the crack, my helmet jamming in it perfectly... Not very practical to look after feet holds... My running shoes, which were attached to my harness, were doing exactly the same job... "Ostia puta"... After struggling like hell, I made my way to the first bolt... Relax... Next bolt in 10 meters... I choose then to climb out of the crack, which is more exposed but more comfortable in a sense... 6 meters later, I tell Carles that I am scared... 4 meters to go to the next bolt... The climbing is still sustained... Bolt, relax... Now, it gets a bit easier, and better equipped (logic???), next bolt at 5m, followed by the belay station... I am glad to be up there, and the tension goes down.<br />
<br />
Conclusion: that was how I made my way up one of the most terrifying pitch in Montserrat... Definitely a fantastic climb, but I still don't know if I liked or not... Afterwards, I checked on the internet about it, and many people had epics in this pitch, someones talking about nightmares and stuff... <br />

B2-i, i for idiot as Oliver would say...<br />
<br />
Last Friday, we went (with Jonatan) to a small boulder contest at a local gym. It was a lot of fun. At the end, just after we gave back our list of sent problems, Jonatan suggested to try a dyno problem, just to get out the last energy remaining in my arms... I was indeed tired from 3 hours of bouldering, but while saying "its probably a bad idea", I grabbed the starting hold, jumped... And twisted my right ankle on the landing... Idiot! ;o)<br />
<br />
PS: nothing bad, just a bit painful... you can see in the following post that I managed some climbing the next day</div>

Maybe this was linked to the fact I didn't take picture for a while? Which I can't explain neither...<br /><br />Anyway, I stop philosophizing around... I made an effort for this long weekend. We went with Joan skiing the Mont Blanc of the Pyrenees, i.e. the highest summit of the range, in the name of Mr Aneto. Usually, this is the last ski tour of the season, but the average snow conditions made it an early season objective. It was pretty good, minus the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning">CO poisoning </a>at the hut due to the fact that an old gas heater has, somehow, been running all night... Fortunately, the dose was not too high, and just gave us a bad night, a massive headache, and the bad sensation to have a solid saliva...<br /><br />Thereafter, we planned to climb around, but the weather was cold and wet there, and we came back to sunny Barcelona, for some climbing at Garraf, Jonatan joining us for the day. This is only one of the many climbing crags around Barcelona, but I like this place in particular: it offers excellent climbing, and its very scenic with its belaying ledge 50m above the sea. Just a shame that some people treat it as a rubbish bin (see last picture), with I have seen in a few other pretty places around... No further comment about this...<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWkiHEI7vYRH99rfZIpFx4UcGtMaUm-DhyphenhyphenUglsvjHDPJVh0YDWVN5ZrkNWj2mETld_cBdoj-wZEKTKr29etsCCMwuC-Pv9f9nw0wq6AdE1WLjQ-Fu1mzQKejPJ7WAD_IxjmHw5WHbk3Fj4/s1600/Image1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I already ear some people saying that I am just being a fashion victim... Well, I hope I won't become like <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/04/five-inexplicab/">that</a>. I am not a purist neither, and I added a front brake, which is not very pure for a fixie, to be minimalist...<br /><br />Some people (probably the same ones as previously! ;o)) will say that having a front brake is being a big girl, a wimp, or anything like that... But, well, it already saved my life a couple of times in 4 days... ;o)<br /><br />Anyway, I don't really care. It is fun to ride, and it makes a nice city bike for Barcelona, a not too hilly city.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyA4mTWyQEGe20KoFnY8HrPDN9BAyVAmFBcDkc8x2XjHVWa3FDUTkdDt4ydEpo7e4KVrI8lZEurigNrWQDsUDakCvdgnDkwD1cyUpJnmeMpNAkdyONBXdv0YnkhvvSaF_VKmTPHt7zZftR/s1600/Image3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyA4mTWyQEGe20KoFnY8HrPDN9BAyVAmFBcDkc8x2XjHVWa3FDUTkdDt4ydEpo7e4KVrI8lZEurigNrWQDsUDakCvdgnDkwD1cyUpJnmeMpNAkdyONBXdv0YnkhvvSaF_VKmTPHt7zZftR/s200/Image3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677089515664751938" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Romarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09183361682456938681noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875347395097289712.post-53406481435878796522011-10-31T10:41:00.004+01:002011-11-01T20:18:48.708+01:00Semaine en famille a BCN!Un post en francais pour une fois!

Du coup, mon petit apartement s'est tranforme en auberge espagnole le temps d'une semaine, bien sympa! Entre beaucoup de visites (et quelques kilometres a pied! ;o) ), nous avons eus le temps de caser quelques bons restaurants:<br />- Almadea: bon restaurant vegetarien (et sans alcool!), cuisine simple, bonne et copieuse pour un petit prix!<br />- restaurant du marche de Santa Catarina: un peu plus cher, mais vraiment excellent! Cuisine assez elaboree a partir de produit du marche, et le cadre tres sympa ne retire rien!<br />- Xadors: bar a tapas typique catalan une zone tres touristique ou les bars a tapas espagnols ou basque sont plus courant ... j'y retourne toujours avec plaisir!<br />- El Poseidon: cuisine catalane a un tres bon rapport qualite prix, a 5 metres de chez moi... Je risque d'y retourner! ;o)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnXEdQbzPcQ1EE5cz37ePv0PQomF7lR3eU5f0eE54t-JagE8SusUaRJdXOMf2jd7G-3MVejSUlMk54wdqHbE2Ob6pOY4MuvF4ZSVKMfRtePmP50GCZ1u3SddV7QMb2V0RbTZ6oWDCDMig_/s1600/271020111451.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnXEdQbzPcQ1EE5cz37ePv0PQomF7lR3eU5f0eE54t-JagE8SusUaRJdXOMf2jd7G-3MVejSUlMk54wdqHbE2Ob6pOY4MuvF4ZSVKMfRtePmP50GCZ1u3SddV7QMb2V0RbTZ6oWDCDMig_/s200/271020111451.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669589797539475074" border="0" /></a></div>Romarichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09183361682456938681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875347395097289712.post-43430159230295224342011-09-29T15:49:00.004+02:002011-09-29T16:05:42.015+02:00Advocating the bike-sharing programs!A study has been done in Barcelona about the<a href="http://www.good.is/post/bike-for-your-life-in-barcelona-bike-sharing-saves-more-than-gas/"> health benefits of cycling</a> in the cities, saving 12 lives or so per year.

Amongst other things, we climbed the "antiques" ridge of Mount Vallier (the prominent ridge of the first picture), in Ariege, the wildest range in the Pyrenees. The climb was done with the extended "Bieth's team"*, and somehow reminded me of mountaineering in New Zealand:
<br />- the starts low in the valley
<br />- very green around
<br />- not so good rock... (Travis' gonna like this!)
<br />- we stayed in a rough shepherd hut...
<br />- it rained at the end...
<br />- good feeling of wilderness (for Europe...)
<br />- fantastic scenery, above a "sea of clouds"
<br />- sharing the surroundings with sheeps, cows and goats
<br />
<br />A much fun&funny trip in any cases!
<br />
<br />* Bieth is the family name of Bruno, our god to all of us <a href="http://frenchiiiiie.blogspot.com/2011/05/proposal-for-boulette-grading-system.html">boulets</a>. Bruno's dad (Eric) managed to drop his backpack during the climb, backpack which ended 100m down with a few broken things... a nice <a href="http://frenchiiiiie.blogspot.com/2011/05/proposal-for-boulette-grading-system.html">B3</a><a href="http://frenchiiiiie.blogspot.com/2011/05/proposal-for-boulette-grading-system.html">/B4</a>! This may suggest being a boulet is in the genes, but this will need some further statistics to be validated... Dear boulet colleagues, any other examples related to these interesting genetics?
<br />
<br />PS: the nice pics are from Eric Bieth, Bruno's dad.

<span style="font-size: 85%;">As having a fair amount of experience and expertise on the subject, I have been advised a couple of time to create a grading system for "boulettes". I first should define what is a "boulette": a mistake that happens often to "boulets" (in the sense of scatter-brain people). It can be forgetting or loosing things of minor consequences, or more annoying things such as missing a flight. I would add it has to be laughable as well, but maybe that is only a personal interpretation. As such, it can encompass a large range of things, and a grading system should be a valuable one. Here is a first suggestion of scale: <b>B-rating-cause/consequence</b>. <b>B</b> is for Boulette, <b>rating </b>a number relative to the "quality" of the boulette, and <b>cause/consequence </b>is a letter indicating the natures of the cause and/or of the consequences:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">i:</span> for Inconvenience. That is when you forgot your work laptop at home, and have to bike 40 minutes to get it back.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">m:</span> for Money, i.e. when the boulette generates a loss of money. For example, when you buy new tickets because you missed your train.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">o:</span> when it deals with Others. These ones can reveal challenging to friendships!!!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">l:</span> for lost. This is often linked to Money and/or Inconvenience.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">b:</span> for broken. This is often linked Money and/or Inconvenience.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">c:</span> for Clumsiness. This can happen to everybody.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: 85%;"><b>f:</b> for Forgeting something you may need, such as a fixing kit for flat tyres.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">r: </span>for Repetition. This can add an extra grade to the global rating, please see the Annexe at the bottom of this post.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 85%;">Many letters can be combined depending on the boulette. The global rating would look like this:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B0:</span> No boulette. This is the grade when you were certain to forget something, but you didn't. In general, if you are a experienced boulet, you are quite proud of yourself when this happens.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B1:</span> Minor boulettes, i.e. the ones you can solve easily by finding an alternative solution. For example, B1-if you forgot your spoon while camping in the mountain, and use a can top instead. These boulettes can even be seen as grateful, since they develop your ingenuity, or even your creativity. Boulettes can be good for you!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B2:</span> These deals rarely with money or others, or for tiny things only. For example: B2-i could be when you forgot your mobile phone at work on Friday, and have to get it back in the evening because you need it for the weekend.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B3:</span> Boulettes which can be slightly annoying. For example, B3-mi is for when you missed your train and have to buy new tickets at full price ("i" is because you will arrive delayed).<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B4:</span> Next level... Then it can be really annoying. They can deal with major Inconveniences, or a fair amount of Money, such as loosing your mobile phone with all numbers in it, B4-iml. Potential B5s can enter here, for example loosing your passport in the street of Otaki in New Zealand, but luckily brought back to the police by somebody a few days later.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B5:</span> We enter now in the high level boulettes, and they are reserved to only a few persons who would still see the funny side of the boulette. Loosing your passport forbidding you to follow your girlfriend for holidays in Germany would enter that category at B5-ioml. (somebody should recognize himself there...). I know of one other good story of fishing-hook-deep-in-the-flesh-of-the-thumb which could have reached a solid grade B5, but maybe it was a too disagreeable experience to be enjoyable as a boulette?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">B6:</span> Here, we are the level of Boulet Bieth, Boulet-god for all of us. This can be achieved by himself only, and even only very rarely. The famous example is to quit his job&life in London in the aim of living with a girl who is living with her boyfriend, and hearing them making love all night long, through the walls... There, we have B6-im. Again, you have to take it well and laugh about it, otherwise it is a too disagreeable experience to be a boulette. <br /><br />Considering the descroption of B6, I suggest the grading system should not be open-ended since anything worst would include really bad things I don't want to promote. B6 is very boarder-line already.<br /><br /><br />ANNEXE: about repetitive boulettes... Repetitive boulettes could get an extra mark if they are temporally not too spread out. The delay of prescription should be small for a B1, and very long (infinite?) for a B6... Maybe that would be the only way to reach a grade of B7? Repeating a grade B6 would be incredible, and would definitely add an extra dimension to a B6!</span></div>
