Gorge Du Tarn

So we’ve had 3 days in the Gorge Du Tarn and retreating already. This place is beautiful but there is only so much numbness in my fingers and toes that I can put up with. We found an amazing 30metre 8a called Little Big Boss. I’ve never climbed these kind of moves before on outdoor rock and i am gutted to have to say goodbye to it simply because i can only do 3 moves before the numb pain sets in and I can’t feel what I’m holding onto anymore. I will be back one day to this route. I would be rude not to! As we’re driving out of the Gorge the narrow road is lined with icicles clinging to the nearside cliff. It really is quite cold here at the moment, probably the reason why we’ve had the whole place to ourselves. Though luckily there are a few vehicles that pass through here as we had to wave down a driver to help jump start our van. I don’t think our battery liked the cold either. Lucky for us it was a petrol truck and ours started straight away.

So we’re off to try our luck in the land of the Spanish first stop there being Rodellar. Fingers crossed it’s a bit more climber temperature friendly there!!

Retrieving the clips from little big boss 8a. It’s so cold I’m wearing my down jacket and my snow boots!
