Ascents in Spain as various tick types by Tobias Auth

#repeat

Awesome moves in the techy crack crux. Then some bigger holds lead to a thin 2nd crux. Great last climb of the trip!

Rightward traverse, slabby flake, vertical dihedral. Spaced bolts. Some suspicious blocks.

One of my trip favorites! 35 meters of great sustained climbing with a lot of cool moves and an awkward start. A little runout and exciting. #sportRP

RP 2nd go after putting draws in after tapas and chocolate cake. Where we met Chris Sharma and Dave Graham. (L'Aprador)

Compared to Ay Mamita this felt way easier and a lot less beautiful. Didn't get into a good flow either and fought more than necessary. Pretty continuous climbing with one or two awkward spots.

Yay, kneebar. Fun juggy rooflet at the top. 7a/ 7a+

Good warm-up. Nice climbing once you reach the orange rock.

Awesome crux section!

Nice moves. Needs some traffic.

Super techy crux. 2nd go after figuring out the sequence. My beta: Don't use the big undercling. Big crimp with the right, right foot high, gaston left on sidepull, left foot up, cross trough with right hand to pocket. #sportRP

Bold stuff! Thin feet and balancy to 2nd bolt. Then glorious climbing involving surprisingly good holds on the arete and some exciting moves high above bolts.

Brilliant! Ever so slightly slabby to a vertical crux sequence.

Nice moves. Last hold looks suspicious.

4th day, 4th 7a. The hardest one for me so far. Obvious crack and corner with some special moves.

good/ very good. Solid and interesting 6b+.

Adventurous flake line. One obligatory jam. Interesting moves.

Crap start which is bouldery, unpleasant and does not have good feet. Some better moves above. "2nd go" after I didn't dare to clip the 2nd draw because of scarce feet. #sportRP

A lot of friction here! Some shallow pockets and crimps but the fingers just stick. Awesome!

Easy climbing to a neat bouldery part at the top. Apparently there are two solutions. I used the big obvious crack (jug in the upper end of it), then right foot bridge/ dropknee. Beautiful techy boulder! Draws and beta by Leon.

Awesome, varied, vertical climbing. The bolting makes it feel a little bold. Cruxy surprise at the end. Sweet end of day climb!

An unusual and adventurous diagonal line. A tough onsight for the grade.

A neat boulder at the top. Had good beta by Leon. Fun! Probably wouldn't have onsighted.

Not really a line.

First climb in Siurana! Consistent with some interesting climbing for the grade but never too hard if you can stand on your feet.

Draws were in, some beta by the english/ spanish dude-combo. Awesome features and holds in the first half to a ledge and an awkward crux. (Where I went a little more to the right than others after clipping the draw from one of the big holes. Handjam in crack, later high left foot on crucial foothold, one sloper for the right) First screams of the trip.

Good little climb. The first moves are the most demanding.

Best route on grey rock I did anywhere so far! Didn't expect to do jamming in Siurana! Flash by Leon which made it his first 6c.

Flash. Big holds, big moves. Awesome! My first DWS ascent. Really glad that Tom was so psyched to do this.

My loudest onsight of the trip. Classic route but really hard in the grade for being so polished. Still worth it to get on it for the awesome tufa sections. Found it harder than the 6c+ to the right of the cave. It was probably this route where I hurt my right middle finger a bit while going full onsight mode and taking a deep mono on a section with spaced holds high up. There's probably a better solution.

More interesting than its left neighbor. Some nice tufas. Feels steep. Big holds.

Big polished holds all the way. Good warmup. Not a must-do.

The first half is a mega classic 6a on tufas. Some good crimps to reach the jug above the blank looking part. Pumpy blobs and tufas to an easier crux below the anchor. The line in the rockfax guide is too far to the right for the last metres – After the final blobs the line trends to the left.

Awesome tufas but the start is a polished bulge.

Reminded me of Kalymnos. High friction, broccoli covered rock, blobs and little tufas. Some moves are reachy, it's pretty run out and some bolts are old.

Beautiful! Technical climbing with a variety of awesome moves and holds. The crux felt hard because I still struggle to trust some of the footholds of this grey rock. 2nd go. #sportRP

Great but stiff for the grade. The big undercut flake at the top is awesome. Bolts are old. Tom took a fall close to the anchor.

Awesome technical crux on small holds which is hard for 6c. 2 hangs. No aid. Amazing view from the pitch 2 and 3 anchor. The rock is sharp in the upper pitches.

Climb: 4.75 hrs, descent: 4.25 hrs

Issues we had: There's a runout to the first bolt on pitch 2 and the climbing is not that obvious. There are more anchors than described in the guide and additional lines of bolts in the top part made orientation difficult. After reaching the top we could not find the suggested abseil point of Sol Solet and scrambled up to the anchor of "Via Llum de Lluna". Our rope got stuck on the top pitch of that line.

Consistent climb. Worth doing.

Good first half with some flowstone holds. The technical crux is on grey rock and requires some confidence. Hard onsight for the grade but probably a lot easier when you rehearse it and know all the holds.

Harder than the 6a+ to the right and quite polished.

Two options for the tufa. I did it from the right.

Some nice flake-crimps and optional handjamming.

A nice climb with some unusual moves. Stiff first half. #sportRP 2nd go.

2nd go. My first route on Mallorca! The crux had a muddy mono that I brushed for a while. Found it hard to find a good sequence and trust my feet in the crux. #sportRP

Interesting multipitch! Some long draws are useful. Exposed overhang with good bolting in P2. Technical in the upper half of P2. P3 is sharp and starts with a traverse to the right. Some loose blocks near the P3 anchor. I got through the overhang clean and had some sits in the technical part of P2. #multipitch
