Excellent route, better than 3 star in the book. The pitches seem to get better and better. It is an improbable line. The crux pitch gets one thinking. 2nd last pitch has to be one of the best for the grade anywhere. 50m of joy. Highly recommended

Follows a fantastic natural line on bomber rock. Mostly great gear except some delicate moves at the end of p2 with sparse pro. One of the best routes I have done.

Lekker warmup.

2 19 45 Second lead by Fernand Sieber

Nice to lead this one this time, the last time I was glad to not lead it. But I've come some ways.

4 20 45 Second lead by Fernand Sieber

Still difficult and could easily be 20

5 19 45 Trad lead by Cormac Tooze

Lead this one this time. Has to be up there with the best pitches of climbing.

24 Fearless Sport 16
Alta Lourette
Eish, I did not enjoy this. It’s too whack and weird for me, felt insecure the whole way and didn’t do a single move that I felt great about, apart from maybe sticking one of the crux moves, a weird little undercling thing. This crag has a style one needs to get used to and perhaps I should not have warmed up on this or have been more fearless 😆
