Today was an absolutely beautiful day to start #climbing outside again. We went back to Landelies, near Charleroi because it's a warm south-facing crag with ample opportunity to get reacquainted with tiny rock holds after climbing indoors on plastic during the winter.
The men’s boulders, for instance, are as hard as V14. We caught up with Paris’s head Boulder setter to learn what strengths and skills a climber needs to grab gold.
