some French climbers have been sending hard in the Red, at least one has done Southern Smoke recently (he is not one to spray about himself so I will leave his name off this as I don't know if he would like that) anyone got any better reports on the sending spree from them or others?

Yeah, my friend posted a pic of some French climber working Pure Imagination in the online guide section...

On another note, I have crushed.. um, my McDonald's bag after my Big Mac meal...

Modest spray? Boasting with no names, but some hints? So weird!

Thanks for the news.

graniteclimber you're right my post was lame, I was hoping someone would come up with a better report, I know one of the climbers is Enzo Oddo, as for the one who sent Southern Smoke I had to ask him a couple of times before he would tell me he sent it so if he doesn't feel like spraying then I am not going to do it for him, I wasn't with him then and got nothing to boast about myself

The times, they are a' changin'.

Its crazy for me to see so many mid 14s get getting action instead of collecting cobwebs.

Enzo did have a great wobbler on Pure Imagination. It was all in French but we had Elodie there to translate. I thought he was going to send. So close.

It was an all-time classic session for sure... the contrast with Hammon's grunty, farty toprope on that wormhole of a trad route was priceless.

I thought he fell in the middle of PI though? Man, I've never heard such a tantrum in any language. Too much pressure to really enjoy it for long I would think... poor kid.
