An overall photograph of the climbing area. All routes are listed left to right.

PJ leading the 6b route Zone érogène in Orpierre, France. My first rockclimbing picture with the new 12-24mm wide angle lens.

this is probably the only not overbolted route in orpierre. This 7c starts in an overhang and ends on an 'effin slab. Climber: Joostje Route: cava couiner

Anitta on LN moins F6b+. This is right before crux, and it's slippery and balancy. Next move is further to the rigth and up.

A F6a onsight - thats a lot to me, i'll have you know - in perfect weather and perfect sun. Does it get any better?

The only photo of me climbing during the most wonderful week-end a climber can dream of : Sun, Friends, a whole lot of unknown routes, too much beers and a host girl who wash the dishes in underwear listening to The Clash...
