Bleurp 8c by Amandine Loury
”The classic sectors in St Léger were wet this holidays, so we went to the Simpson sector which is drier and sunnier. It’s perfect for winter days, the routes are shorts (around 15 meters) and pumpy for twenty movements. I tried Bleurp a few years ago, and I never came back because it’s not the best rock quality in Saint Léger. This year I needed three sessions for send this route which is pumpy and harder and harder going up.”
