Spring is upon us again, with its great temperatures, but also pollen ("why o why do those trees need sex?" copyright Jonas) and crazy rainfalls. Spring also means going back to some old favorite crags - Pared Gran in Sant Llorenc is one of them. Despite the tiresome approach, the climbing and the views are worth it.

And old projects are still all there. The other day I tried Rescate Emocional - the last move remains as painful, especially for the "little people," as ever. Next, it was Dresden's turn - and the crux on this one remains - oh surprise - as small and filled with agony as ever as well. Oh well, falling is as good for the psyche as anything.

Unfortunately, this year I have to struggle with the fact of being much weaker than last year - but my body is not in rebellion against my soul anymore, so maybe some redpoints will follow. Or not. But those projects will stay - and maybe I will learn to wait in the shadows as well...
One way or another, thanks to Andreu for bolting this great line, and Xavi and Jonas for patiently belaying, taking all my whining, and even taking pictures!
