October is the month of balance: warm in the sun and chilly around the corner, it’s cold in the morning and pleasant at noon, it’s the explosion of colours in the golden light and their death in the shade of the north. And it’s the month for climbing and for sending your long-term projects on rock.
For a few years now, Bratilesti Bouldering festival is happening during the first decade of October. It’s a rather informal rally of climbers, on the high plateaus of Buzau County at around 1000m altitude, an area with good quality sandstone boulders and crags, where we camp freely and gather around the fire in the evening, enjoying a natural access to fundamental freedoms that are starting to fade even in Romania, in more popular climbing destinations.
In the meantime, at home, the assault of old term climbing projects continue. Also the search for the new ones is about to begin.
