We got back to Chamonix at about noon and decided to take the girls out for some easy cragging. Kristen had never climbed outdoors
before and hadn't climbed at all in a few years. The weather seemed to be holding
out, but after a few climbs the rain started falling to varying degrees, and the
rock started to get really slick. We tried to spy out routes that had very positive foot and hand holds so that we weren't trying to smear on the slick as snot rock. With a very short break between showers I managed to lead my first 6a of the trip
on a big overhang, even in the rain, but I did have to pause for a bit while
hanging on the rope. Kristen and Ainsley did really awesome. I was really impressed not just with their climbing ability, but also with their attitudes while being out in the rain.
