My trip to Europe wasn't really climbing oriented and because of my heavy load the year before (work, school and starting my own legal practise) I was a bit out of shape. When I found out my uncle, who is in his late 60's, was still climbing I asked him to show me the area close to his home. Uncle Peter told me his friend was still leading and that he was over 70 years old. Ok, I thought to myself, this shouldn't be too bad, how hard will these guys climb anyhow at their age. Let's just say I had me arse whipped!
Cute little village below the cliffs
Dr.Evil's castle above the village
My uncle warming up on 5.10

His friend leading 5.11

No whippers please!
How about this hard 10? No Problem!
Hard to believe those stones hold in there
I don't trust the rubble but I'll tr it 
kick kick - hmm I guess it's ok
thought bubble: "that dude leads this stuff?!?"
Time to go for it
