It looks like I do not have much time to put news here since the beginning of July :(
But I have to mention this weekend! Although short, at least something...
...so...
...Mobby Dick in Fenda is the first 6a I managed to lead this saturday.
Althouth I am still a bit far from redpointing it... I am on the right way!
On sunday, we spent a relaxing afternoon in Guia with Vladimir and Andre. And we finished the day with a great moonclimb of Taxi (well... it is a 6b... so I did just the easy lower part ;)

Last V+ in Fenda
Looks like I ran out of easy routes in Fenda...
now I really need to start climbing 6a's ;)
Well, I went to Guia again on Saturday... but there I Redpointed (flash) just a IV and IV+ I guess. The V and V+ were both toprope (or was it just the last one?)
And then, in Fenda, I returned to the very first overhanging route I ever tried (toprope): Jardim da Celeste... and I Redpointed it on the first try!
Hard work it was.
Nice day.

Vacation postponed
Luckily, I had some logistic troubles... so I am going back to Czech republic only tomorrow... ;)
Why luckily? 'cos I spent an amazing saturday in Peniche with traditional climbers and then I onsighted one and redpointed another IV route in Reguengo.
And now, finaly, my holiday!
(hopefully, in the end of the month, there will be some photos from Peniche to put here...)

My first V+
Finally I did it!
I redpointed "Abre as pernas e avia-te" in Fenda!
Thanks to Miquelinho who belayed me in the end of the day (and also on one V route before ;)
...so great... now I can really have a peacefull month of vacation in my country ;)
And on Sunday... I went to Mecca... a bouldering place in Sintra... a beautifull place. It was one of these splendid sunny days with cotton-like clouds scattered over the sky.
I did there one boulder "Adherencia V"(I was too week for the other V boulder...), and I also embraced few other rocks... got many scratches... one "steak" in my finger, another on my heel (on the way back), so now I cannot put on the climbing shoes an have to work on final projects ;-)

Guia again
Yesterday...
...we went there in the afternoon and I managed to lead two routes... (Asterix IV and Directa IV+).
Although it was my second day leading (yeah... last time it was in Fenda, two weeks ago, althought I have not mentioned it), I did not feel very shure there ;)
And I am having so much work with final projects now... :(

Rainy weekend
I am sure, you know it... all the weekdays are sunny and when it comes to weekend: rain, rain, rain.
And if doesn't rain (like on Saturday), then a lot of sea humidity comes together with cold wind (like on Sunday)...

Santo Antonio
I think I like this saint...
...he gave me the chance to climb Abre as pernas e aviate again. And try the beginning of two 6b routes: Berber and Shaman (what a names!)
...more holidays... more climbing... Yes please!

Day XI and XII
Yes... it was a month since I started and I managed to go ten times... nice statistics, isn't it?
And still (except for Guia), I haven't been to a same place twice.
So saturday, it was Azoia... very nice place... especially because it was sunny and we managed to climb in the shade.
On sunday, we went to a new place: Dentinho de Gatinho. Joao Gaspar and Miguel bolted two new routes for me and Teresa ;)
Well... OK... it was not for us... but we were the first two to climb them.
If I say them... I start thinking of the names they gave them... Miau Miau and Estrela ca'dente? I think... something like that.
