Climbing!

We went to a new (to us) climbing area in the Gresivaudan called "Le Glésy" with Simon, Vanessa and the kids. It is a fairly short drive on the autoroute, except today, when there was an inexplicably large and horrible traffic jam. It probably had something to do with the school holidays, judging from all the ski racks. Once there, it is a short hike uphill past a pretty waterfall to the crag. The rock was a little dusty, but not in bad shape. Everything felt a bit hard to me, and to the other adult climbers! There were also periodic showers of dust from the top of the crag, which were not so nice. The kids all seemed to enjoy "climbing" the rock, which meant getting hoisted up while giggling uncontrollably. They also enjoyed hunting for worms, and swiging on the rope that I had put up on one of the 7s to the right of the crag. Alex spend a lot of time in various parents arms, rooting through leaves, and eating random bits of food off of the picnic blanket. After a few hours, the temperature dropped, and it was time to pack up. The plan was to find a cafe for chocolate chaud and maybe even vin chauds, but the closest village (La Terasse) was mostly shut, with the exception of the ubiquitous off-track betting cafe.
