IronEscape v2.0

How it started
First of all, last year, while we reached the top of the Taillefer for the IronEscape operation, StanMarsh said to us it would be more awesome, if we had brought cheese to do a "fondue savoyarde" at this place.
Then, when the operation was shown on the Ingress report #31, a lot of resistant agents told us that they would have love to come with us. So we planned this event for the next summer.

Operation Objectives
Farm some keys, obtain medals and new levels upon this exceptional portal, make that portal blue again, and just for the fun of it, to do some "mise en abyme" pictures with the New York Times report.
But the most important objective was, as we came from differents places, to meet each other IRL, share a great walk trip and have a great typical local lunch on the top.

The story
On friday September 12th, agents from Freiburg, Aix-en-provence, Avignon, Marseille, Paris, Versailles, arrived in Grenoble in order to be able to be early for the trip departure on the next day. They were able to discover our beautiful city… and make some new points for their “seer” and “explorer” medals… ;)

The appointment was planned on morning of saturday September 13th with agents already here, plus some “local” ones from Lyon on a parking at the bottom of this beautiful mountain.

Like one year ago, we start climbing with enthusiasm, grabbing some blueberries on the side of the trail, enjoying how magnificent wild French Alps are.
While we reached lake Poursollet, the sun came over the mountain to welcome us.
At approximately noon, (depending on each agent physical condition and training ;) ), we reached the top. First agents captured the portal, made it L8 again, and started to cook for the less faster ones.
When everyone was here, we cheered and did an “apéritif” (or as we used to say : “Apéro ?”) while the meal was cooking.
Sky gave us a great gift by being all blue, and the cloud were gathering to do a kind of cloud sea. Far away we were able to see the “Mont blanc”. Panorama was so awesome and peaceful, that for a moment, we forgot about Enlightenment and Shapers :P

Then, while we were farming, we started to eat a delicious “Fondue savoyarde” made with the cheese from “Les alpages” (one the best cheesemonger in the world), drinking (with moderation) some white wine, and ending with some Chartreuse V.E.P. (with a bit less moderation… :P). Some of us got a sunburn, but it was a great moment.

After Jarvising the portal to removes the farming mods, some agents captured, deployed resonators and did links, and hit the next level by achieving some new medals.

Finally, we went down while the fog surrounded us, and we made a small break at the bottom, on a small café to chill a bit and give our legs and foot some rest.

What have be done
- Having fun :)
- Farming hundreds of keys
-@Neogames reached Level 11
-@Ashtal reached Level 12
- Having a memorable meal
- A 1200 meters climb

We are resistance, we are not lazy as some grenoble’s enlightened agents who use plane when they can use their legs ;)

P.S. : Bravo to enlightened agent arksphere, who came on sunday to take again this portal, thanks to you, we have a another reason to come back at this wonderful place ;)
