After meeting Adam we headed to a land of huge rock pinnacles (Tenailles) to climb a 10 pitch 6b route but immediately regretted our leisurely start as we encountered a queue at the base of the climb. To avoid waiting we decided to do the harder route next to it instead. And it was tough!! 6c crux at the start on slab with no holds, levitation required. Followed by a few more 6b and 6b+ pitches, some delicate and some more thuggy. Luckily Adam and I managed to lead our preferred styles with Adam breaking out up the steep stuff and me taking over on the more delicate stuff. We topped out amongst more pinnacles and threaded our way down between them on foot and back to the base of the climb. The highlight of the day was catching up with a HUGE flock of sheep and goats being driven down the hill at speed!
