The story goes on, Part 2: Now I am the master!

My best performance during the last months was obtaining a piece of paper which opens multiple doors for me grants access to a whole bunch of interesting jobs you never studied for. It guarantees you are competent enough to work in a bank and help old ladies with broken toes to fix their insurance and stuff. How exciting. Honestly, I'm really looking forward to work together with the ever motivated and inspiring crew of Belfius Bank. They have their headquarters in Melle - soooo cool - and with an appointment as second CEO I can fix some sponsorship for the climbing team. 

To celebrate all this me and Tim Dedobbeleer spent the month of June in Céüse - the nicest crag in the world by the way for those who haven't been there because they think the cozy 50min approach hike will hurt their poor little feet - and climbed a lot of sevens. No big sends, except for Face de rat 8a+, a real beaty on a sector with little routes which nobody climbs and with the crux right at the end, climbing up some tiny crimpers reminding me of Freyr. I tried L'ami du tout le monde 8b and came pretty close. I didn't do it, who cares. We planned to try the 70m Black Bean - who wouldn't after seeing the video with Arnaud Petit -going up the central part of the Biographie sector, but didn't possess a 100m rope necessary to come back down - you can use a 80m rope and unclip - making 20m falls - untill you can reach the ground, but opted to try something else. Only for this route alone I already would go back.

Robby, aka King, put up his castle and joined us for 10 days. The last two weeks Joris, aka Paal, Bart, and Siebe Vanhee arrived too. I climbed with Nico Favresse, discovered there exists a Slovenian version of Tim, saw the whole french climbing beau monde together on a few square meters, noted Gérard can be pretty fast when he's pissed off because you didn't come to the reception at first, and concluded Jos is a firm believer of complot theories after he and Bart saw Alizée Dufraisse coming out of the showers naked twice. New rendez-vous next year.

Still not impressed?

Who the fuck shits in his own garden?
