My first time at Vin Mon Lapin. Likely my last? Likely the fault of my food intolerances. Check out the photos and my thoughts here: https://www.multiculturiosity.com/vin-mon-lapin/

First real trad fall! Bomber gear. #1 in a beautiful vertical crack. Just couldn’t be comfy in my non-trad-friendly shoes and got nervous. The next photo shows all my gear, pre-fall. I won’t make falling a regular occurrence in trad, don’t worry.

Ask to find out what routes these are because I have an awful memory. The last video is the 12b on the far left at the colosseum. The part I did is probably like 11a-b, but it’s heady. I just didn’t have the reach to clip behind me or the power to do the move without a big break before, which you can’t really get without the clip. Apparently this was rebolted and made MORE reachy. I’m going to assume that’s because it was the safest place for the bolt, not because the rebolter didn’t think about short people.
