Ascents of Verikoko

Marmorbruch

Fun climbing to technical last few bolts at the top

Felt much harder than send unique and therefor 7a+. Really nice one with a spicy finale 💪

Tobias Auth it’s a very nice technical quite refreshing climb that has some hard cruxes. Definitely more like 7a+ than 7a.

By chance flashed it with the conviction of being climbing Sens Unique. Afterwards I realized that Sense Unique would be 40m long and I had probably taken the wrong anchor. Therefore repeated it, but found no other anchor. A proper look at the guidebook showed that I actually climbed Verikoko... Anyway very nice technical route! Was worth climbing it twice!

Hard slab at the verry top. worth it to climb

Unpleasant I thought. Even in todays good conditions. Aided top crux.

Nice delicate climbing but very soft for the grade

thin

Engaging climbing with a nice mono!

Every climber on the island seemed to be at this crag today (mostly seiging tufa king pumped). No one on verikoko though! It was really balancy and sequency at the top. Thought I was off a couple of times, but held it together.

Felt 2 grades easier than Attitude. Anyway, beautiful climbing on small crimps. Positioning matters.

Thought I had it in the bag, but the unexpected thin section at the top got me.

Got stuck almost at the top traversing back left, then lost balance + strength. So close, but the direct line was easier. 175 metres, today!

Awesome little techy climb

Sweet orange blocky climbing.. This part of the wall is super sweet. Top of the route is somewhat sustained edges, blocks and underclings. You gotta move your feet a fair bit to make some of the hand holds work.

Don't try and climb in super humid and windless conditions... Super slippery

Brilliant.

Repeat

Good proj for Sam. Awesome rock
