Photo-shoot at Senglar

Jaume who now also - and finally!!! - has his own blog, took me up on the proposal to have immortalized a little Senglar project of mine.  Thus, crazy people, we went up on the hottest day of this summer to shoot a couple of pictures for the project, como no!

But first things first, the first-ascensionist - all this would have been impossible without Kim Santacatalina.  Below, the main protagonists of the 20-year old story, in my more humble company:


I could not resist the temptation to fly up and down, once again, on this perfect route, the longstanding project of mine, which I still can hardly believe i managed to climb, the Sprint Final:

Up

And down (Pedro's draw still holding the fall...)

And back up again (whatever way one can...)

And last but not least, Oriol, who belayed me on the red point, and also came up, as usual, taciturn and accommodating, the man of the mountain, if there ever was to be one.


Thank you all, my dear friends!!

All good pictures by Jaume, climbing by myself, and belaying by Oriol.

Anonim,

L'avorriment és subjectiu i personal, si tens problemes busca't un hobby...

4.500, 8.000...I???

Els pegues NO són la mesura de la incapacitat (demostrada amb l'encadene, no??), SINÓ de la il.lusió , la paciència/persistència
i ( perquè no dir-ho!) la tossuderia...

Enhorabona i a la propera 4.499...i anar fent, no?

hahaha, what a nice meeting of anonymous on my blog, i feel finally honored, thank you!

The perpetual question remains, is the glass half-empty or half-full? Everyone decides for him/herself. Mine has been pretty empty for a while now.

Anyway, you all missed a point - Sprint has been a great occasion for me to write and have pictures taken, what more glory can one ask for?
