Sat 24th Sep 2016 - Malta
Irdum Irxaw (Mistra) Gully - NW facing Wall
7b Anal Pleasure - with Daniel Sport 14m Very Good
Finally did everything correctly. Great route. Looking at the line of bolts, you can hardly believe it's climbable, but most of the holds are around the arête. The crux is a sloper section which leads into a reachy move towards a two-finger pocket pointing in the wrong direction.

 
Sat 24th Sep 2016 - Malta
Irdum Irxaw (Mistra) Gully - SE facing Wall
6c+ Crimp on a Rose - with Daniel Sport 21m Very Good
Long and beautiful with two difficult sections, one in the middle and one just before the anchor involving a technical move to the left with bad feet and small crimps.

 
Sat 24th Sep 2016 - Malta
Irdum Irxaw (Mistra) Gully Exterior SE facing Wall
6b Cold Burn - with Daniel Sport 12m Good
Short climb with a nice move towards the left onto a good, but thin flake.

 
Sat 24th Sep 2016 - Malta
Irdum Irxaw (Mistra) Gully Exterior - NE facing Wall
6b Communication Breakdown / Excalibur - with Daniel Sport 15m Very Good
Wax-like rock, brilliant structures.

 
Sat 24th Sep 2016 - Malta
Irdum Irxaw (Mistra) Exterior - SE facing Wall
6c Predator - with Daniel Sport 18m Classic
Excellent route with lots of good crimps and challenging movements. Maybe the best route here.

 
Sat 24th Sep 2016 - Malta
Irdum Irxaw (Mistra) Gully - NW facing Wall
6a Cecilia - with Daniel Sport 16m Very Good
Absolute pleasure line with good movements from bottom to top. Nice start with hidden holds behind the bulge, interesting the whole way through.

 
Fri 23rd Sep 2016 - Malta
Wied Il-Għasel (Mosta Valley) The Eye in the Sky
6a+ I Want to Break Free - with Daniel Sport 15m Very Good
Great fun at the right edge of the cave, overhang on jugs, then slab to the anchor.

 
6c+ Shock the Monkey - with Daniel Sport 15m Very Good
Cool "monkey start" followed by a technical section over the bulge.

 
7a Walk on the Wild Side - with Daniel Sport 15m Good
Hard start on a two-hand sidepull into a good pocket followed by a technical vertical section with few holds. The slab above is nice as with all routes here.

 
6c Singing Daughters - with Daniel Sport 15m Very Good
Boulder start on tufas into good pockets, one of my favourites here.

 
5c Stairway to Heaven - with Daniel Sport 15m Very Good
Great slab route. Homogenous, smooth climbing.

 
Fri 23rd Sep 2016 - Malta
Wied Il-Għasel (Mosta Valley) White Walls
6c+ 7a+ Open up the Cake! - with Daniel Sport 10m Average
Went right after the second bolt, which is quite close to the project next to it, but also tried to the left afterwards. Both ways are nowhere near 7a+, especially because it's quite short.

 
6b Regatta de Blanc - with Daniel Sport 15m Good
Quite nice, but unspectacular.

 
E1 5b E1 5b Toledo's Triumph - with Daniel Trad 15m Good
Cool start, easy to protect, the upper part is less interesting.

 
Fri 23rd Sep 2016 - Malta
Wied Il-Għasel (Mosta Valley) Oil Drum Cave
6a Mary Poppen - with Daniel Sport 15m Good
Homogenous route, a bit cumbersome in the upper part.

 
Mon 19th Sep 2016 - Malta
Wied Il-Għasel (Mosta Valley) Cat's Arches
7b The Lord of the Crimps - with Daniel Sport 11m Good
Nice short route with small, crimpy holds.

 
6b+ 6b Holey Moley - with Daniel Sport 10m Good
Short extension of "The Lord of the Crimps". Cool overhang with big holes.

 
6a+ It Ain't 6a - with Daniel Sport 12m Good
6a+ Damocles's Scimitar - with Daniel Sport 12m Good
Little boulder problem in the beginning.

 
6a+ It's Raining Bolts - with Daniel Sport 10m Good
Extremely sharp holds in the end …

 
7a+ 7a Dark Ways - with Daniel Sport 22m Very Good
Awesome route starting with a nice little boulder up onto the ledge and then sustained climbing. Great move on a mono undercling.

 
6b Tufa Moss - with Daniel Sport 12m Good
Slightly difficult start, but then relatively easy to the anchor.

 
6c The Lord of the Underclings - with Daniel Sport 13m Classic
Brilliant second pitch to "Tufa Moss". The name of the route says it all.

 
7b At Long Last - with Daniel Sport 20m Very Good
Hard, technical movements on small crimps in the lower part, sustained in the upper part.

 
Sun 18th Sep 2016 - Malta
Wied Babu The Flying Arête
6b+ 5c Viva il Capo (The Flying Arete) - with Martin Gropp Sport 16m, 8 Classic
Great, smooth start up to the stance at about 18 m (5c) and a great line along the arête to finish it off.

 
6a Denny - with Max Sport 25m, 10 Good
Two interesting slab passages, quite homogenously easy otherwise. Thanks Max for belaying me!

 
6a+ Exposure - with Daniel Sport 25m Very Good
Very nice line. Slabby start, then a single layback move up to a balancy crux section and a pull-up jug in the end.

 
Sat 17th Sep 2016 - Malta
Il-Latnija (Mellieħa Cave)
6b+ Bubu Chungo - with Daniel Sport 14m Good
Steep and juggy, but damp holds …

Felt even wetter the second time. Very close but I pulled through.

Very nice, slabby start, crux in the end over the bulge. Might even be 5c.
