- for a good wet climb, take 2 motivated international rock soldiers

- choose the best orientation, little wind, regular showers, and well oriented pitches

- spreading your legs might be necessary, they call it "grand ecart"

- and when you blissfully reach the 6b, you may cry, nobody will notice the difference, it's pouring !

- but the wet climb also means great vegetation

- and great beer drinking opportunities afterwards ! (view from La Berarde café terrasse )

I didn't say that; and the look on my face pretty much tells the truth!

Respectable win in an era of fail. My hat is off to you two. Very nice.
