No Rest-days for the Weary

With so many different areas and amazing problems of all difficulties it is hard to take an off day in Fontainebleau.  It is odd to look forward to rainy weather but the forced rest is often just what the doctor ordered as I lack the will power to not climb every day possible.  Fortunately, the quality of life when you're not climbing is exceptional as staying in a gite (small vacation homes you can rent all over France) with good friends and drinking an abundance of wine always makes for a good time.

Today will be only the second day in a row of climbing but 5 of 6 days on in total and it doesn't look like we'll be resting anytime soon as the forecast is fantastic.  I'm sure in a couple days I'll be hoping for rain.

Here's a few non-climbing pictures.
