Day 10 3rd May: with Pascal Lee Rhony Lee Denis Li Lung Hok Jul Mercier
Based of the abysmal forecast, and the actual matching weather in the morning in st pierre, I really thought that our stop at decathlon, the outdoors shop, would be the highlight of the day!!!

Nap on the way to st denis, and wake up mid route to a glorious sun!!! We had already tightly packed all the climbing gear, thinking that our climbing days in reunion were over, and it would have been a nightmare to get it out in the middle of nowhere, so we decided to skip ‘colimacons’ (the climbing spot planned the day before the weather turned really crap), and unpack at the hotel in st denis. Quick lunch stop for rougaille saucisse reunion style, before heading to ‘la montagne’ climbing spot.
The guys all seem out of energy. Denis still has sore shoulders from the bouldering on the Eve, so he quits after a 5b, . Pascal lazes by the rocks, before deciding to make a move with Rhony; few 5b and 4s for them. It seems jules and myself are the only ones gunning for it. Remember the 6a that made me shed skin on the very first climbing session?We're back to conquer it!!! Jules sets off first and finds the beta (route info) to complete it. With that info, and lots of grit, I do as well
:-) last 6a for the day is too tough for either of us in lead, but I do manage to complete it in top rope (my fave climbing style for tough routes).
