:lol: Who knows....? No, of course not, our climbs went well as a climb should go. Waiting for the next one?
Well, a meeting I do not know would be possible? I have the following climbing schedule now upcoming. It is climbing vacation for me now :D
Tuesday: Route on Pyramide du Tacul
Wednesday: Route on Trident du Tacul
Thursday: Do not know exactly, I have proposed a route on Pic Adolphe Rey for my partner. We will see...
Sunday: Route on Rouge du Triolet, going up on Saturday evening to the Dalmazzi hut and probably using a tent again.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: We go to the area of Monviso and the hut Giacoletti. We will do three different routes in this area near the hut.
Then, then we go to Swiss and do some kind of rock-mix route on Zinalrothorn and maybe also l'Obergabelhorn. I have not seen the topos since they were proposed by my partner, we will discuss it more tomorrow evening.
Then I will leave for Sweden and be back in the end of August, so have a nice month all of you!
- Christian

HA...I find out today that they scheduled me for weekend nights in August (again)...since I wasn't at work last week, and they didn't give me any prior warning, I am taking that weekend off anyway...someone will cover me one way or another, heh. I'm not gonna pull another pfalz.
That being said, I will have to take a lot of pictures to tease Ashley with, heh.
And as for the wurst...I may not eat like a pig, but I'm definately not anarexic. I don't drink quite as much beer as the rest of them might either...consider me a newb/light-weight in that category.
So far, it sounds like this will be a great weekend. (I feel sorry for the sucker that has to work my shift for me...:P

sounds like a good plan, although you might want a rest in between all those routes in cham'. Pic Adolphe Rey is very cool, especially the summit block, you should def. do it! Trident looks very nice from grand cap' too. Are you camping in between in the Maudit cirque or going back to Torino each time? I saw some people camping down there last time, looked pretty convenient...
Keep us updated here, i'd like to know about the quality of those routes, and be careful and safe!
oh, and the w-end of aug 11-15 i might be in switzerland too, around grindenwald/interlaken area...

well, i should know by tommorow or the day after what my means of reaching the gathering will be.
option a is via venice and brusseles by train/plane/car.
option b is by car and a friend or two. that i kinda less likely, but it can happen.
but barring some unforeseen disaster (like the plane costing WAY too much) ill definitely be coming.
oh, and i prefer meat tp wurst, but ill eat almost anything.

UA, so far it looks like 4 from Brussels. Me, Paolo, Overlord and Tisar.
Stone_D, is there a guidebook for the area? I know you'll be there, but we like guidebooks anyway for our library.
... speaking of which, UA - if you could bring along the VDM guidebook that'd be great.

no worries - i'll likely be flying to germany and mix in a work trip which means i'll get a car (because i'll probably be coming from DUS or Koln).
but i'll keep everyone posted in case people need rides ;)

In reply to: hi out there, i`m new in here :) some of you might already know me, from your last gathering in vdm. i was there with another group from germany. so what i want know is to tell you that i will be there again from the 11th to the 15th of august. i talked to heiko last weekend and he told me to post it and maybe start something like an eurofreaks gathering 3.5 in vdm. so anybody who likes to come, just tell me. robert :D
Hey Robert,
it seems very much as if I would be coming. I might be bringing 1-2 people from around here. I'll announce it in a new posting.

Why the train? Grenoble is only about 8 hrs driving...
It's never too hot in Fonti... that's just a myth. Always plenty of good stuff in the shade!

Beth was just intelligent enough to make it small beers while Pat and I... forget about :oops: It was hillarious, espescially the part with our cancelor(ette) and the pubic weights... :lol:
They scheduled a company party for tomorrow. I doubt I'll be able to walk properly on Saturday, so climbing seems outa question 8^)
