The river level was dropping noticeably, the rain had turned to spits and spots but there would be no climbing this morning. It was time to get a coffee on, let it’s warming aroma soak through and be thankful I wasn’t stuck in a tent. Van life, it sits somewhere between the tent and the bright lights of the Centro Polyfunzionale just the other side of the raging river.
I spent most of the morning in the van trying to catch up writing about a previous trip to France before hitting the climbing gym for a short workout.
The evening was rounded off with Patabang, a fantastic film about the climbing, the characters and the change in attitude to climbing in Val di Mello during the 70s. I hope this will be made available to a wider audience as it is well worth a viewing.
