Bonjour, mes amis!
We just got into Ceuse ealier this week, and so far we've had four days of climbing and two of rest. The climbing here is incredible - without question the best in the world. We've all flailed a good bit, but it's just way too beautiful here to really care too much. In the picture above you can see part of the view from the top of the hour-long hike or at the bottom of the cliff. And if you look closely, Realization is the line just beyond the orange streak on the right. I touched the start holds - no biggie.
Life here has been incredible - wake up, drink coffee, wait til the cliff goes into the shade, hike up, collapse at the top (roughly 7,000 feet), climb til dark, get down, make dinner, pass out, repeat. Today's a rest day, so we're spending it in Gap, about 20 km from Ceuse. Lizzy and Ben Shear '06 are allegedly arriving today, so I think we're all gonna throw down American-style for the 4th in the gite (guesthouse) Lizzy's dad reserved for the week.
Anyway, the other guys are waiting for me in the car, so I've gotta run. More to come! And Scottie's getting some badass footage, so there'll be a movie too.
Wo0t!
