Here in the deep Kentucky

So deep, so far, but fit and fun, it's very exciting to be there with so many good climbers.

First day climbing in "Drive By" sector with my friends Dani Andrada, Tony Lamiche, Mickael Fuselier, Gérôme Pouvreau and Fred Labreveu from (grimper French

magazine)...

But because I focus my training for the world championship in Spain tow weeks ago, I’m very bad climbing on those 40meters long routes.

Anyway, the rock is wonderful there...

I had to find a new activity or not fit enough I would do only half routes today :o(

Thanks to Matt, a very local climber, I could borrow every thing to bolt a new rout in a very nice line (Bob Marley Wall): drill, beat, hammer, 17 key, and bolts...

There is no interruption holds and it suppose to be very hard: 5.14a / 8b+ minimum! It's very steep, holds are small and far... I hope to post pictures tomorrow ;-)

And let's finish the job may be with Dani who is in a rest day.

I propose "El Encuentro" to name this route borning!? What do you think about it?

I wait for your suggestions 'cause I’m looking for something may be more "American"?
