Font. to Ceuse and back

Here are a few pictures from the last half of my trip. After spending 3 weeks in font. I found a ride down to Ceuse. Considering the weather was becoming a bit to hot to climb in font I decided it was time to move on. Unfortunately the climbing gods did not agree. About 2 hours from ceuse the car I was riding in, nicknamed Tulip, decided it had had enough and died. Anne, the unfortunate owner of tulip, and I took it to a garage. The mechanic, not knowing any English, give Tulip the death X with his arms conveying to us that tulip was no more. So two days and two cars, after leaving font, later we arrived in ceuse. We arrive to perfect weather which complemented the perfect rock. After one day of climbing in ceuse I can easily say that it is the best sport climbing I have every done. We were graced with 2 climbing days and than it started to rain... and snow. The forecast was not promising calling for over a week of heavy rain. Font on the other hand was cool and sunny so we drove back to font. This must have been what the climbing gods wanted because the first climbing day back I managed to climb Hale-Bopp a really cool V10 dyno I had been working on for a few days. Well this is going to be the last blog post for a while, I start up work in a few days and will be stuck climbing in Deirkes Twin falls for most of the summer. There are plans in the works for a China trip next year and also possibly a Pakistan trip as well, so there will be much more pictures and stories to come.
