"Wow this is cool!"


"Oggle!  Drool!  Oh my god this is so cool!"


12 pitch 6b+ (5.10c).  Bolted up the wazoo!


I can't get that grin off my face!


Oh yeah exposure.




Pio and Willis on a route next to us.


Hiking back down through beautiful green fields.  Paradise!  All four of us topped
      out with grins from ear to ear that we couldn't get rid of for the rest of the evening!



Pont en Royans.


Climb 2: 12ish pitches of 6b.  Slightly overhanging, as verified by the two dudes
       jummaring up the fixed lines in the background.



YT on a sweet 5.10a (6a) crack.


Tom cruising the crux 6b pitch way up.


Climb after climb after climb!


"Oh man, this is cool!"


Classic Presles shot.


Mmm mmm.  5c (5.8-5.9) overhang with 150m of air below, believe it or not!!!


Topout view.


Campsite bath.  Chilley!


Willis with his Presles-grin on.


Mountain rescue trying to save a base jumper across the valley who'd got himself
       hung by his shoot half way up the cliff (florescent green patch to the left of the
       chopper)!
