Ascents in Europe as various tick types by Lee Cujes

Awesome folded gneiss - like gritstone in parts

Another cool OS

Fantastically varied with big flake. One of the best 6's around

Good climbing, but too runout at this grade I reckon with cruxes just before you can clip. Might be more like 6b? Sneakers.

Ascent of the trip! Sneaker action maximum. Sick boy today. More drugs, drinks at the bar, then bed.

Classic at the grade on bullet verdon-style limestone features. Sneakers.

Worth doing for the incredible, drippy, rock architecture. But the slab, oh god, the slab.

I am struggling to think of a better 6b+ sport route. Long, consistent, interesting blobs and tufas the whole way. The opposite of a grey slab.

Okay, so this was very wet, as it turned out. Like, running with water in several sections. Which made this very, very challenging and my best onsight of the trip for sure. Every technique in the book to get up this - jams, chimneying, arm bars, leg locks, mega stemming, cartoon slippery-feet. Final route of the trip and what a way to end. Thanks Chulilla. Peace out.

I waaaay ran out of draws. Took 20 and needed 30. Serious backcleaning action. The final transition from tufa chimneying to upper slab top-out was ... engaging!

A bit tricky/techy and pumpy in the first 15m before easing off a bit on bigger holds and steep ground. The extension is a no brainer - awesome!

Tufa slab! Very unique indeed, quite incredible.

Some very touch and go moves fully stretching to tips underclings.

Was far from dry, but pretty cool at the grade on tufa blobs up a corner and arete.

Crag very busy, hopped on as the warm up. 8°C and I was battling finger freeze the whole way up.

Took a week for this to not have a party on it. Super long, kinda awkward, with a definite ledge-fall possibility on that first ledge.

Pretty interesting wall climbing.

Stout!

Slaaaaaaabs.

One of the better routes on this section of wall. Crux comes at you in the very last section. Balancy and techo.

Brutal hard start, and then another butt hard move above a ledge - like most of the other 6's here!

Nails!

Really cool! Somehow felt like climbing a Coolum route, but vertical. No grabbing and pulling on holds, it's all pushing, underclinging, sidepulls.

The best easier route I've tried here. Mostly big holds, cool tufa-flow formations, super interesting the whole way.

I'm learning everything feels hard regardless of grade. That being the case, you might as well just get on the really hard things.

A shorter route and more bouldery. Fairly on the whole way. [2]

Managed to put it together - psyched! Time for pizza! [3]

Superb sequences. Double-gaston action. [3]

Pretty incredible route. Starting to feel a bit like a climber. Come on endurance! [4]

Had to Sharma-scream on the crux, but managed to hang on for the ride. Siiiick route. [2]

Reminded me of a Rifle route on blocky limestone. Had to drop the clutch at the top, lol.

Perfect tufa to a buffed-shiny face crux, then pumpy headwall. 7c+/8a in latest guide. Regardless, a super pitch of climbing. Great recommendation from Rhys. [2]

This route climbed so much differently than I imagined. 40m enduro routes are usually sprints for me, but with this one I had to move slowly, milking every rest, getting back just enough juice to tackle the next section. Nothing on the 20m headwall is overly hard but my god it is sustained. Sam froze to death on the belay. [4]

One yucky move down low negotiating a sloping ledge, but made up for with a stunning broccoli slab with huge pockets in the upper third. I hate slabs, but this was a classic.

Okay, so there is a shitty crimpy section at half height you have to get through, but then it is seriously stellar (Kalymnos quality) climbing to the anchors (and beyond). The best of this grade in Chulilla.

This is obviously pretty popular. I found it hard going the whole way. [2]

Cool "go for it" moves up the face/arete up top, with the anchor just slightly higher than you want it to be.

Got quite pumped on the phat slopers.

Route #1 of the trip. New rope, shoes, belay device, harness (for John). Miracle we survived.

The bright orange rock on this looks and is quite amazing. Cool cracks and features, and a lil bit powerful.

Looks like pox from the ground but climbs really well. Bang on for 6b+.

Two hard moves, jug. Two hard moves, jug. Fun.

One night, two girls: English, Spanglish.

Hardest thing I've done since ruining my shoulder. Felt pretty good - I think the rehab is working. Route was cool - very thin crimping start to a rest ledge. Then an overhanging crimp ladder for about 6 bolts. I just held it together.

Well I did you a service and cleaned perhaps half the plants off this. Nearly every clip was scary. Worst route on the wall, but it's done now.

Sneakers. This tweaked my shoulder worse than the 7c+ did.

This is a Dani Andrada route. Say no more. Awesome. Seriously. Best 6a I've done this trip.

Very interesting, and not a romp through the crux. This wall reminds me of the Grampians somehow. Rock texture and slopey horizontals.

6 year wedding anniversary today. Brushing and prepping this route was my gift. I am a rare husband indeed.
