One go to put draws in and remember moves, second go to RP. Although there are numerous bomber knees in the lower section, I decided to forgo pads and knee barring and just mofe fast. What a line. Respect to all the onsighters - the end took me a while to figure out!

Very fun first pitch! A bit challenging to find the correct line at first. After the first couple of bolts it gets slightly overhanging into an inside crack with more powerful climbing.

This felt more 6a+ with my reach. The hardest part requires quite a bit of stemming and some chimney-style trickery for the shorter person. The upper section is great but short-lived.
|
|||||||
6b Hard | ★★ Toutouille | 30m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Hollow rock at the bottom leads to some slippery crux moves with a few wandery sequences left of the bolt line. More of a calf-burner than a finger warmup.
|
|||||||
7c | ★★★ Hogo Fogo | 35m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
A few hangs to figure out each crux. First one in the overhang isn’t bad but is harder if you don’t move efficiently. Getting through the tufa system is demanding. Left kneebar and pad optional.
Then the crux after the 2nd cave is really sequence dependent especially for the feet. Felt dialed after a few runs on it. Crucial RH finger splay with left cross and bump. Last crux leaving the small cave into the slopers was desperate as hell and didn’t not feel good. Would be highly possible to blow a redpoint here. Right kneebar to cross RH to sloper. Pulling out the kneebar and turning it into a right foot was hard. Pulling to LH pocket felt low-percentage and desperate each time. |

Was excited to get on this one given the stars, but it was horrible--I'm so confused. The whole thing is extremely manufactured, including the whole lower crux with a fake pocket. If I wanted to climb made up routes I'd go to a gym. If you're gonna chip away that much at least add some fake stuff for the shorties? Lol
