sasson bianco & sasso del drago
yes today was
the first day touching rock in 35+ years. in the
engadin it was -1 and snowing while down in chiavenna
it was 16 degrees and bright sunshine. sasso bianco
is granite. the climbing is mostly friction and not a
lot of what i used to call “hand holds”.
it’s clear to me i’ve got a lot of
training to do.
what’s a 6a? i was hoping for an easy v.diff.
i was ready for home after the first three routes. the new shoes - a pair of scarpa visions - were great even if my feet were red. wish i’d had a pair of these in 1966. i guess i could say you seem to be able to stand on a nat’s toenail once you get the feeling and the confidence. i think i’m going to be sore tomorrow.
