The Desire to Cancel an Event
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Pre-broken arm and pre-pandemic I was deeply passionate about via ferrata and I went up every single weekend in summer. Since my broken arm, and since the pandemic I have lost almost all desire to do via ferrata. It's a sport that I loved because I loved finding new places. The issue, and this is something I said before I broke my arm, is that I have done almost all local via ferrata several times each.
Reservations
The other issue is that with the growing popularity of the sport you often find yourself trapped, unable to progress as you wait for those ahead of you to make progress. It's convivial, but I no longer feel like driving far to participate in this sport.
The other issue is that I didn't train in a gym, or do much upper body strength work so I think that this decline in upper body strength encourages me to feel more fear than I used to.
When I planned to do the Moléson Illuminé I hadn't rediscovered my passion for cycling. I really love cycling. I love that I don't need the car or trains. I love that it's practically free, especially if I stop buying accessories. It's also about community. I like the cycling community.
Driving Investment
It takes 50 minutes for me to cycle to Geneva, and six minutes to cycle into Nyon for a group ride. In contrast it takes one to two hours for every via ferrata. At the end of the day you spend more time driving than you do practicing the sport you went to do.#
Waiting the Entire Day
One issue, in this context is that you spend your day waiting until evening to do something so you waste your day. When I did it last year the VF took three hours because of how slow those ahead were. If you start early, you benefit from having no one in front, but if you start late then you're blocked. You end at one or two in the morning and then you have the drive home.
And Finally
I don't need to make up my mind now. I can easily decide the day before. I can see what other opportunities present themselves, as well as what the weather is doing. For some reason I felt some urgency to make up my mind when there is none.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Yesterday I woke up feeling tired so I questioned whether I should cancel the Gruyère hike but chose not to. I felt more tired than usual and I couldn't understand why until I checked my activities. I ran five kilometres on Friday, then again on Saturday, and then Sunday I went for a relatively short walk.
Originally my plan had been to rest oon Saturday but for some reason I didn't listen to that desire. The result is that my calfs felt taut, and when I walked to the train station I felt slow and heavy. Now it's clear why I felt this way.
The hike around Gruyère is around 10km with 330m of climbing and 240m of descending. It's relatively easy with one or two passages in a forest and the occasional steep bits but with nothing too technical.
On this hike you have views of snow covered mountains, cattle eating grass, some Toblerones made of cement, that served as a defensive line in case of attack during the second World War.
One of the highlights is "Le Pont Qui Branle, but it doesn't actually shake when you cross it. It's nice and solid. If we were not mistaken on graffito is from 1983 and yet is still clearly readable.
What I like about this route is that it's a gravel path, which, I think could be part of a nice cycling route that I should take the time to explore this year, if the weather holds, or next year, if it doesn't.
With this hike you have three opportunities when you finish. You can visit the castle and see rooms that were decorated in various styles for different ages, you can stop and have a fondue and meringue with raspberries, or you can go to the Fondue shop (not the official name) and get a fondue set, cheese and more.
And Finally
While coming home from the hike I saw that someone had organised a bike ride for today, which I would now be on. I decided to miss it because the logistics were complicated, and as I felt tired yesterday I felt that it would be rational to rest and recharge today, ahead of the run on Friday, and possible other activities on other days.
My desire is to explore the cycling routes around there in the near future.

Reading Time: 3 minutes
Every year the Moléson tourism board and related teams provide people with the oppotunity to do the Face, and the Pillar by night. I have wanted to experience this multiple times in the past but because either of work, or weather, I had to cancel the plan to experience this.
The idea is simple. Sunset is at 20:25. People start climbing the VF from 1900 onwards with the option of doing the "easy" Pillar or the hard "Face". As I did The Face a few weeks ago in daylight I did The Pillar instead. My decision was based on two things. The first is that I had organised to go with a group, and I felt a sense of responsibility to help those with less experience should they require it.
Some Thoughts
Two thoughts I had during this climb is that it's like caving, rather than diving. When you look up you can see people making their way up both faces simultaneously. You can hear cow bells in the fields below as well as the sound of crickets. Every so often you notice plenty of small spiders. The legs are thin and the bodies are not big. If I'm indoors I would hate to put my hands so close to spiders but on a VF it doesn't bother me. I thought that I may see bats but noticed none. Either they don't have enough insects around there or they have no caves or caverns within which to sleep. It's possible that they're active between midnight and 4 am as indicated by a sign near the Areuse river.
Fear and Physicality
When you're climbing by night the landscape is different. You can see far, due to city lights and car lights. You get a sense of height but not as you would if you were doing this climb during daylight. In daylight you would see everything. At night you see as far as your light will reach, or other groups ahead and behind you.
At one point I heard one person in another group say "don't look down" and this felt odd to me. I always look down. With rock climbing, and especially when abseiling down I learned that if you don't look down constantly, when it comes time to descend you will be surprised by how high you are, and feel fear. By constantly looking down the change is gradual.It also implies that people doing this VF are afraid of heights.
Logistics
The illuminated event is well organised. You can book via a web form up until 1400 the same day, or you can see if you can get a ticket on the spot. They check off your name from the list. They get emergency contact info, check that you have all the required gear, and snacks. They also provide you with a ticket for soup at the end of the VF in the restaurant.
One of the best aspects, in my opinion is that they have a team at the start of the VF routes, to log you in and then three individuals at various points along the route to check that everyone is okay. In case of an emergency they are ready to abseil down in case of bad weather, or use the helicopter in case of good weather. If you push beyond your limits then people are there to support you.
A Howling Wind At the Top
One of the key features of this specific climb is that there was a very strong wind. At moments there were gusts strong enough to require you to fight back to remain upright, both on the VF but also when walking from the end of the VF to the télécabine. That wind made it cold, which is why people didn't stop and wait at the summit, but chose, instead, to head for the télécabine, and the restaurant below.
And Finally
It's an interesting experience that is worth doing. By the end of it I was exhausted so I'm happy that I did not do a hike that morning. It's when I finished that I felt exhausted, and barely able to stay awake. I don't remember being this tired after a daytime vf. I am rarely so tired after a daytime VF.

Château de Gruyères in Switzerland.
This is the town where Gruyere cheese comes from, but it's also where H.R. Giger who created the look of the aliens in Alien and other other movies retired. Part of the outer castle complex is a museum to his work.

Second day of the June trip.
Media hidden because, well, #HRGiger. Despite his museum being 18-only, there was a separate adults-only room with the "yes, we do mean it" vibe. There's also a cafe/pub next door where he designed the furniture and the walls. Incredible vibes.
#Lauterbrunnen valley and waterfalls are said to have inspired both Rivendell and Moria descriptions.
#Gruyère castle and dairy are both worth a visit too.
