Annot, Day one

After a relatively good sleep at La Rouie and a big breakfast, it was off to the boulders. Annot has featured many times in this blog, but just to recap: it's a small town in the Maritime Alps which is a funny mix of mountainous terrain and Provence. The cicada features prominently as in other places, but it gets cold here. In fact, we have been here a few times when there was still snow on the road. Anyway, it has an extremely rural, somewhat yokel-ish feel to it. It's a bit of a drive from Grenoble, but we always come back very relaxed and refreshed after wearing ourselves out on the boulders. It works pretty well with the kids, too, as long as the weather is not good. The best way to do it is to just play it by ear and not feel obligated to go just because you have planned it, because it is kind of miserable when it gets cold and or rainy.

Anyway, we had a great day on the blocs. Nothing very hard sent on my part, but we all got to try new stuff and the kids got to run around like little savages
























It was the Place Vendome sector, like last time. And I got spit off the same boulder as last time!
