Travel --- 10/23/2013 - 12/11/2013 --- France, Switzerland, Italy, Morocco, Spain
This is the more detailed album from my two months in Europe and Northern Africa. It includes things like the name of every climb we did. Because that is important. There are 660+ of my photos here (be glad I didn't post all 2000+ that I took). There are also a selection of Jess, Yamin and Chris's photos.
All things considered, this is just way too much for anyone to look at. Even I'm not going to look at all these photos. I figure only Guy will go through the entire album.
Luckily, there is an album here that contains a summary of the trip along with highlight photos. You should go to that page.
So, with no further ado...
10/23
My checked bag tips the scale at exactly 50.0 pounds. Success!
Climber/Airplane coincidence #1: Flying from Philly to Zurich on a mostly empty plane, three guys get on. I immediately peg them for climbers. We can just tell, it's a thing. So they just finished a month in the western USA hitting up big routes in Yosemite and Zion. We have a good conversation. I learn all about places to climb in Switzerland. But in the summer, not in October.
10/24
Nap to deal with the jet lag, then visit Parc de la Tete d'Or.
Emily, Lindsay and I meet Jayeeta and Iaco for Indian food.
10/25
Walk around downtown and visit the small Roman ruins. Party in the evening
at Zuzanna's place downtown.
10/26
Market on Croix Rousse. Vieux Lyon (the old city). Cathedral St Jean.
Big roman ruins. Basilique Notre Dame de Fourviere.
Best ice cream I've ever had in my life :)
10/27
Wine fest
10/28
Zoo and
botanical gardens
10/29
Guidebook expedition.
French onion soup. Or as they call it here... Onion soup.
10/30
Jess arrives.
10/31
Tour lyon with Jess.
We make a really good ratatouille and watch our
Halloween movie: The Headless Horseman.
11/1
Emily, Jess and I drive to verdon gorge. According to Emily,
"I've tasted the world, and American peanut butter is the best."
11/2
We head to the top of the gorge and rappel down one pitch and climb out.
The route is Fini au Pipi at Le Belvedere se La Carelle.
Then we go cragging at Le Galetas. Passerelle Minute and Le Plien de Jus (both
6a). We see a gorgeous sunset over the lake. At night we visit
Mousetiers. Really cute town. Incredible ceramics.
Holy crap! Of the 725 photos in this album. About 125 were taken on this day alone! That's like 2% of the trip and 20% of the photos. Must have been an awesome day!
11/3
We climb at Les Hauts Vernis. Jompa Jompa (4). Envers et Contre Toute (5+). Jolly Jumper (3+). Long drive home with bad traffic.
11/4
Emily goes back to work. Jess and I drive to Switzerland via Italy.
Rain and fog the entire way. We reach Nicolas's house and have a
delicious dinner.
11/5
Bread and cheese and blue skies. Very relaxing morning. Five hour hike
through Switzerland up to the Italian border. Authentic pizza in Italy.
11/6
Pancakes. Foosball. Old chestnut mill. Caslano. Italian Hospital?
In Switzerland?
11/7
Climbed at Vezia. Morsi di Carne Secca (5c+). Spigolo Destra (6a). Assenza di
Spit (6a+). Peru peru (7a+). Team Salute (6b awkward)
11/8
Climbing in Chamonix at Coupeau. Three climbs before rain. L'eau d'Lssey
de Chantal (5). Eclipse-toi (5a). Petit beru (6b hard). We walk around
Chamonix then find a great place to crash for the night at a huge
waterfall (which we didn't realize was there until the morning).
The rain continues.
11/9
Explore the waterfall: Cascade de l'Arpenaz.
Drive to Annecy, roam around. Drive to Lyon and return car. Very happy
to be done with the car!
11/10
Morocco planning. Emily and I go to the Croix Rousse Carnival. I love
bumper cars! And the whirl-n-puke.
11/11
3:35am wake.
Expensive cab to airport.
Fly to Marrakesh.
Drop our bags at the Sindi Sud hotel. Pretty nice place for the price.
Breakfast.
Walk around.
Botanical gardens.
More walking.
Dinner.
Night in the square.
Marrakesh is filled with VERY aggressive touts and all manner of tourist
ripoffs. Every person who talks to you expects money. They drop a snake on
you and expect money. They grab your hand and scratch some crappy henna on
it and expect money. Insoportable!
11/12
Early morning Train to Rabat where we meet Dan.
Walk around the Portuguese fort.
In the evening we head to Meknes and check into the Hotel Majestic.
11/13
I start my day with an awesome
avocado milkshake.
We tour Meknes with Morgan and Hannah.
Morgan tells us the story
of the paranoid sheik who moved his capital to Meknes because it was easily
defended. Thus the huge walls and large granaries. We see the sheik's
mausoleum, the medina, and a really cool madrasa.
We head to Hannah's apartment and have tea. Then we take the train to
Fes where we meet up with Dan again. We have dinner at Cafe Clock, possibly
the hippest place I've ever eaten at in my life. I finish my day with an
almond and date milkshake. Then we head to Imouzzer where we meet Dan's
roommates, Drew and Lindsay who are peace corps workers.
11/14
We all go for a hike in the hills above Imouzzer. Collect some wood for
a fire (complete with smores!)
Emily, Jess and I head to the local hammam. They went to the women's side. So I'm on my own with only my dippy cup, packet of greenish black sludge soap, and a scrubby kessa glove. Since my glasses immediately fogged over and I couldn't speak any arabic, I felt like Helen Keller bumbling around confused and unable to see or speak. In the end, it was a great experience. I got very clean, even without paying someone to scrub me. The whole thing cost about $2.75 including the supplies we had to buy. Much cheaper than the $20 to $200 charged for the same services by tourist hammams around the country. Highly recommended!
Oh, and be sure to keep careful track of your possessions. Otherwise some of your stuff might get stolen. By me. I accidentally took a guy's dippy cup. Ooops! We figured it all out, and he thought it was hilarious. I was somewhat embarrassed.
11/15
Bus to the beautiful hillside town of Chefchaouen. We stayed at Hotel Soiuka
which was a fucking opium den. Not highly recommended. Cheap though. Walked
around the city and took some sunset photos.
11/16
Long day. Bus to Tetuan then Tangier. Grand taxi to Tangier Med. 40km??? Who
knew? Finally on the ferry. Nicest conveyance of the trip. But two hours late.
And an hour time change in Spain. So we arrived at the Algricas port after
9pm. Made it to the bus station with time to spare for the 10:15 bus to
Malaga. Emily and I finally reached Hotel Tribuna after midnight. Tribuna
is reasonably priced and feels like the absolute lap of luxury after a week
in Morocco. We indulge in a long hot shower and a comfortable bed!
11/17
Walk around Malaga and the beach. See the Picasso Museum and the special
Helma Klint exhibit... all for free! Yea for Sunday evening free passes.
Most museums and attractions in Europe have free or heavily discounted
times. They are not advertised but with a bit of investigation
(or a nice lady at the ticket desk in our case) you can learn when to
show up to save lots of euros.
11/18
Emily flies back to Lyon. Jess and I take the evening bus to Seville
where we meet Yamin and Chris. We walk around the city at night.
11/19
Tour the Seville Cathedral, the largest in the world.
Visit the Plaza de Espana, and the Archeological museum.
Walk along the river and check out the Torre del Oro and
Plaza de Armas. We eat mediocre indian food for dinner.
11/20
Drive to El Chorro where we move into our villa. It is cold, but the hob
is high quality.
We climb at Las Encantadas:
Playmobile (6a, 2 stars)
Bohem Destrell (6a+, 1 star)
Para que Disfrute la Canalla (6b, 2 stars)
Crisis de Identidad (6a+, 1 star)
11/21
Climbing at Buena Sombra at Desplomilandia:
Escombros (5+, 1 star)
Autan (5+, 1 star)
Sin Mantenimiento (6a, 50 best)
Buena Sombre (6b+, 50 best)
Alobeitor (6a+, 50 best, Yamin and I)
Yogur de Coco (6c, 50 best, Chris and Jess)
11/22
We traverse the Camino del Rey.
11/23
I've been sick for a while. Food poisoning in Morocco and now a sinus
infection of some sort. And I'm running a fever. I manage two climbs:
Gracias Aguas (6b, 2 stars)
La Princesa Carol (5+, 1 star)
Everyone else also gets a shot at Poema de roca (7a, 50 best). I take
pictures. This is the worst I'll feel the entire trip and the only climb
I'll miss out attempting. So overall the illness was no big deal.
11/24
Good day in terms of route quality:
Amptrax (6a, 5 pitches, 50 best)
Putifero (5+, 50 best)
Gabi (6a, 3 stars)
11/25
We tour Ronda. There is a bridge.
11/26
Hike the Camino del Rey to Los Cotos:
Number One (4+, 50 best)
Cursillos (5, 50 best)
Super Galleta (6a, 50 best)
Gaby (6b+, 1 star)
11/27
Leaving El Chorro, we stop in Valle de Abdalajis:
Fisura Devoradora (4+, 1 star) A bolted offwidth!!!
Fisuras Armoniosas (6a+, 50 best)
Then we drive to Granada and meet Mikey for his birthday.
We settle into our apartment which has a terrace and a quality hob.
11/28
Happy Thanksgiving! We tour the magnificent Alhambra. Just google it, I
don't want to type up everything I saw. The five of us manage a pretty
spectacular Thanksgiving meal thanks to our quality hob.
11/29
We drive to Alicante and find our condo. It has an induction hob!
11/30
We climb at Gandia:
Some crappy warmup, I didn't get the name (5+, zero stars) Mikey breaks a chunk off!
Amorrada al Pilo (6b+, 50 best) a great climb, I did it three times!
Pepes Troika (6b, 50 best)
12/1
Callosa:
Two warmups at sector 1. Didn't get the names.
Everything at sector 3:
Gusano (6a, 50 best)
Liron Arboreo (6c, 3 stars)
La cueva (6c, 2 stars)
12/2
Toix:
Espolon Limaban (5, 50 best) six pitches to the summit with Mikey. Awesome
adventure climb!
12/3
Penon de Ifach:
Costa Blanca (6c+, 7 pitches, 50 best) Chris and I climbed all but last pitch.
Rain and difficulty stopped us. Yamin and Jess were right behind us and we
all rappelled together.
Kinda cold and wet all day which was unfortunate. But still, Penon de Ifach is a crazy amazing place to climb!
12/4
Valencia. Market. Mediterranean buffet. Science city.
We reach Barcelona at night. Another induction hob! Funny that most of the pans in the small apartment are aluminum and won't work with the hob.
12/5
Walk around Barcelona all day. We see kids hitting a log with a stick so
it would poop some nougat for them and not anchovies. Anchovies are too
salty. Because... obviously! I had already known about the pooping nativity
figures (Caganers) which is a quirky tradition in Catalonia, but the Poop Log
takes it to a whole new level.
We saw the Barcelona Cathedral which would have been impressive had we not seen the Sagrada Familia Basilica later that same day. We saw the Arc d Triumph (the one in Barcelona) and the penis building (Torre Agbar, which looks a lot like The Gherkin in London).
Then we toured the Sagrada Familia Basilica. All I can say is that I'm glad I saw this cathedral after the dozen or so others in Europe. There is no way any of the others can hold a candle to it. Of course, with 130 years of construction and at least 15 more years remaining, it ought to be impressive.
We saw other Antoni Gaudi buildings and then met up with Jess's friend Jay for an evening of food and sangria.
12/6
Walked along the Barcelona beach and saw a new photography exhibit which had
just opened. Then I flew to Lyon to spend a few more days with Emily.
12/7
Emily and I tour the Museum de Beaux Artes which we had missed during my
first visit to Lyon. A huge collection of masterpieces along with a special
exhibit on Joseph Cornell and the surrealists. We continued our cultural
feast by watching World War Z in the evening.
What?
12/8
Emily, Lindsay and I went with Uri to a bolted quarry on the Rhone. We did
three climbs, all in the 5 to 5+ range. Cold but fun. On the way home we
walked through the new Croix Rousse tunnel which was part of the Festival
of Lights.
12/9
Fete des Lumieres!!! Also, I made tiramisu. Much more successful than
the mousse soup.
12/10
I fly to Madrid (spotting Mont Blanc for the first time as my plane lifted off
from Lyon). Settle into my hostel (no hob) and walk around the
city seeing the sights.
Climber/Airplane coincidence #2: My seatmate on the leg from Lyon to Barcelona has huge forearms and a Black Diamond jacket. Ulysse is a pro photographer for Montagnes Magazine, one of the big climbing/adventure mags in France. It is a good flight :)
12/11
Madrid to Philly to Ithaca. Back in my own bed and using my own hob.

Hubert Cumberdale and Marjory Stewart-Baxter, will you help me find the perfect spoon? Why does Yamin have six spoons? I couldn't tell him my Rene Descartes joke at this point because he was sick and had lost his voice. What does Yamin's voice have to do with you telling a joke? It just does.
