Sunday. Fog surrounds Siurana. It is cold. Derzou meets Jordi, a local climber who he met in Magic Wood (Swiss) in 2008. Together we climb at Ca la Isabel sector. Derzou tries the route Boys don’t cry (25m, 7C). Due to cold fingers during the climb, he doesn’t attempt a second time.






Wednesday. Derzou tries Anabòlica again, this time with one “take”. We meet a first Belgian during our stay, Nicolas Favresse. He will be in the area till the end of February.

Thursday. I climb Cruella devil (32m, 7B).

Friday. We take a walk halfway to Prades through the forest. Derzou spots a fox, frames it in the viewer and “click”. He has the image on color negative. Is it the fox from Panchi’s story? Did he visit the camping or is he after the chickens from the nearby farm?

Sunday. Derzou climbs Llet de boja a beautiful traverse (30m, 7A+) at Esperó Primavera sector.

Monday. It is winter. For the first time frost on the car front window. With this we feel a fatigue, today and the coming day.










Wednesday. Derzou finishes the route Avance cangrejo (30m, 7C). A left foot mistake in El prado del rey (30m, 7B+) prevents me to send the route. Let’s try again later.
It seems paring time for the wild boars, during the day you can hear them screaming and grunting.
We take the pig trail GRUNT GRUNT!

Thursday. Derzou finishes the route Berrio cabrero (30m, 7B+) at Siuranella Centre sector. (photo: Paul Lahaye)















Friday. I receive two new pair of Boreal climbing shoes, the Lynx and the Kintaro womens. I can’t wait to test them.
