Pont de Barret

I went climbing with Denis today, at Pont-de-Barret.  everything was going great until I pulled off a big block on a 6c.  Denis was on point and jumped out of the way, thus avoiding getting killed by the death block, and I took a big ride




There was a small crater near where he was belaying. Definiteley the closest call ever.
