Yesterday we went out climbing in L’Esterelle, the red rocks beyond Cannes. In the morning it was cloudy and cold outside but a few hours later the sun was warming us from a almost blue sky.

Emelie and Sylvain was with us out. Emelie is Swedish and he is French, just like me and Anthony, except that they speak swedish among themselves. It was nice to speak some swedish again :-)

First Anthony climbed an easy route in first position, and then I went up on the same in second position. On the way down I didn’t look where I put my feet and sprained my left ankle. It didn’t hurt at once, but I know this kind of thing since I’ve done it lots of times before. Fast down and fast on with the bandage I luckily had in my bag. I allways keeps this one with me nowadays. Then it begun to hurt.

Aj aj aj. It hurt a lot for about an hour, then it calmed down and in the afternoon I could enjoy the wonderful view, and I even secured Anthony when he was climbing, sitting down on the ground with my leg up.

Best veiw one could have at a time when the only possible activity is sitting.
