It's crazy to think how big this place is.
It's very wide and everything is very spread out.
I've been here a lot of times in the last 10 years
and I've been always surprised how many big areas
I still have to visit and how many lines I still have to check
and this is also one of the reasons
why I always want to come back here
because there is so much stuff to do that it's very out of the
mainstream
scene where
most of the
climbers don't
go very often.
I like the rock
quality here in
front in the in the very shady areas
because it's totally different comparing to the open areas
where the rocks takes a lot of sun
and the texture is totally different compared to the one that you
can find deep into the hood.
It's true that it takes much more time to get dry but I just prefer
that kind of rock because of the texture
which is much better in my opinion and also because of the
colors because sometimes it's very green orange
and even the contrast around is pretty better
because of of the moss
and all the vegetation that you can you can't find the same vegetation
in Appra
mont or in
other open
places
Appramont
is very
special
to me even
because
of the
background
that he has most of the climbers here
in the past have developed lines that are really natural and
they don't use any forced way to to be climbed
so it's more like a natural way to go climbing
instead of researching for the forearm moves
or for some illogical lines that are just simply hard
but nothing else. Here they gave priority to the beauty
and to the logical part of the climbing and
this is very inspiring to me because even
when I go by myself to develop some new boulders
this is the attitude that I use
and probably I've been learning this attitude during all of these
mountain
here
in the
forest.
This time
we found
has been
maybe
a bit more
special
to me
just because I realized that it has
been 15 years that I've been bouldering.
Nowadays to me looks like normal
to be always around searching for new stuff or
go to repeat some some of the best boulders in the world but looking
backward it's very great
if you think you know like being able to spend all
the time and energy and money
of your life just to do the stuff that you
really want I mean like climbing the best stuff in the world
and it's great
because I don't feel that I climb something because I have to but more
because it's it's very great to climb
and I still really enjoy this process of
searching for something very pure
and very natural and so to me keep climbing
in a natural way which is definitely the best option to me
and I feel like lucky to
to spend all of this time in doing that.
