JCMcHammyI was kinda hoping the impromptu nap while waiting for the rain to pass might wake up my brain after a rather slow Sunday, but when the sun finally came out said brain was more reluctant. Got a couple fun routes in, though, took a whip on a third, then came to this nice line at the end of the day, aided by the patient and excellent Alesia on belay. Let's see if I can locate the light switch... <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/Climbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/ClimbingIsMyPassion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimbingIsMyPassion</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/SportClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LimestoneClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LimestoneClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/Nice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nice</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LaTurbie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaTurbie</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/CoteD?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoteD</a>'Azur

JCMcHammyNice (well La Turbie in this case) was a fun place to climb; most of the routes had interesting moves on them - even the "easy" ones, the company was good, and the weather (when it was climbable at all) was lovely (especially considering the forecast just a day before the trip!). The extra excitements of the rock being generally damp, polished, and my mojo having been washed away by alchohol and rain on Saturday night meant a slow start and not pushing too much so it's probably just as well the "easy" routes were fun! Finally found a little flow late on Monday, so this Tuesday climb was a bit better. Still, this little beauty was a fine example of the grading at the crag; poor technique aside, this felt around a full letter grade harder than advertised! <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/Climbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/ClimbingIsMyPassion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimbingIsMyPassion</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/SportClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LimestoneClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LimestoneClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/Nice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nice</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LaTurbie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaTurbie</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/CoteDAzur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoteDAzur</a>

JCMcHammySo there was actually climbing on the Nice climbing trip, too (between the rain... which managed to be both more and less than expected...). La Turbie, as it turns out, felt really kinda sandbagged grade-wise (or maybe I was just sucking?)! But then the fun is in the movement and unlocking the puzzle, not the grade and it was a great trip with a fun bunch; Alesia Sidliarevich (with the excellent catches), Helen Finn, Carole Dawson, and Roy. <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/climbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/ClimbingIsMyPassion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimbingIsMyPassion</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/SportClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SportClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LimestoneClimbing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LimestoneClimbing</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/Nice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nice</a> <a href="https://mountains.photos/discover/tags/LaTurbie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaTurbie</a>
