I am climbing again, back at home, in the Basque Country. The weather is definitely changing. It’s a kind of “tropical” weather that we are having. This Basque Country (it should be pretty cold and rainy) is under a weather situation. It gives climbers the chance to extend the season around the nice areas. Definitely I don’t have much time to climb, but my fitness (after coming from the Smith Rock in the United States) is slightly better, and this increases even more after giving many slideshows nearby and receiving all the hotness of all of the assistants. But the opposite side of the coin is that the good climbable weather inspires and illuminates me to maintain my climbing till the rain finally starts to wet every route.

I still have some routes I haven't climbed near my home. Some of them are really hard ones and will always be waiting for me ... I had a very mythical one called Mafias 8C [5.14b]. I have tried it in the past, not putting too much time on it, but Oh yes! demanding my interest regularly. It is one of the very first [5.14b] routes in the area — a very powerful route, and very resistance style, too. Pretty short instead. Around 20 moves. Some pinches at the beginning and some small but positive two finger pockets at the end. This magnificent line goes through a very overhanging wall.
