Chapter 50: They come and go / Ils arrivent et partent.

They came and they are gone. As I am writing this, I suspect John is back in Calgary and my bro. is somewhere over the Atlantic ocean.

As I was cooking spaghetti sauce, Sarah and Chris showed up. A few good stories and a bottle of whine later, they are both down for the count. Jet lag and alcohol is a dangerous mix.

Tomorrow, I am meeting with one of the locals who's been cranking in Font. for 36 years. The Dude is in his sixties and pull harder then me. I just hope that he gets in a training session tonight or tomorrow morning so I can walk away with a little bit of pride left. Hope is all I have.

Anyway, the temps are good for cranking. Days are cool and nights are cold. The wind is blowing and we are not expecting rain till the end of the week. Perfect.

Ils sont venus et sont repartis. Actuellement, Mathieu est quelque part au dessu de l'ocean Atlantique alors que John est probablement revenue a Calgary.

J'etais tranquillement a cuisiner une sauce a spaghetti quand Chris et Sarah sont apparue de nul part. On va avoir du plaisir. Quelque histoires et une bouteille de vin plus tard, les deux nouveaux arrivants dorment a point, victime du decalage horaire.

Demain, j'ai rendez vous avec un local d'une soixantaine d'annee qui grimpe plus fort que moi. Je vais en avoir plein les bras et surement plus rien dedan demain soir. Je vous tiens au courant.

what is in store for ET post Font???

Bishop season is just around the corner. you have the steep volcano tuft. the granite buttermilks, and new areas like way lake.

Also, i have extra hueco reservations for two weeks in beginning of janruary. now you have no excuse not to visit this world class destination, no purchasing pass or jumping through hurdles--i did it for you.

cmon your shoulder hurts because you are allergic to slab climbing.

holy sh*t Pepe... how about naming a post "I'm too lazy to update my friends on what is happening in the greatest bouldering destination in the world, with ample wireless internet access" ?

Pete

It's obviously the work of gypsies, who have stolen off with ETP and converted his van into a pots and pans kiosk.

God help him....if he can escape their clutches, he could beg for coins on la rue to afford a 5-min internet cafe session to make a plea for help.

"Send me some money now - dammittt"
