Ascents in France as Retreat

Simply done

Way to hard the overhang.

7a+ sur le topo… la baffe qq points sous relais

Fun to try but the start was quite wet. Maybe I will come back after a different project

Horizontal roof with a crack which is very thin in most places but offers some wider parts with jugs. Apart from this crack, everything is really smooth, so the possibilities are quite limited. Getting completely into the roof already felt hard and I decided not to continue much further.

Belle marche d approche puis dur et un move trop dur pour moi… un reta impossible et un run out jusqu au relais, il manque un point…

Fatto solo primo tiro di 6a.

Solo primo tiro di 6a+

Too warm, heavy slabs of snow were sliding down the couloir

Essai en top rope solo mais la paroi glissait trop avec la pluie du matin

Photos topo 44

Needed an 80 m rope.

The route is maybe 7a+ (first vertical on smaller holds, then more overhanging on better holds) up to a big hole in the middle where you can put a nice kneebar where even I could release both hands. After the hole, you go slightly to the right, then comes a hard first part: after some good pockets, I crimped a sloping pocket with the right as a gaston, took the pocket left of it as an undercling, bumped the right hand to a sloping intermediate and then far up into a very good pinch. You can clip from there. I could climb up to the height of the next clip after that, however it is placed so far to the left that I just didn't manage to clip a quickdraw into the bolt. Since it was already three meters above the previous bolt and the next bolt is another three meters up, I didn't want to skip it and came back down.

Roche trop mouillée après la pluie, abandon...je reviendrai sur ce petit secteur école plutôt sympa
