UKC Digital Feature ‘Rive Gauche’

Nick meets his French counterpart Jeff Mercier at the Rive Gauche, a steep mixed climbing crag in France.

Overcoming past differences, the unlikely pair team up for a desperate and nail-biting route. With good humoured rivalry, Bullock attempts to onsight one of Jeff’s hardest climbs, but as he sketches his way high above his last runner, Mercier looking on in amusement, Bullock has to consider, has this been the ultimate sandbag?!
