Ascents in Islas Baleares as various tick types as trad or sport by Anderl

Hard fight, pumped like hell. Was cheating a bit as I was unable to unclip the last express and had to go directly to the chain, but the last metres are not the problem anyway.

Yeah Some warmup in the route and on the 2nd or 3rd serious attempt it went! 25 years from 6a to 7a - if I continue with this pace I'll reach 9a at the age of 99 Probably a bit soft for 7a, but who cares, nice climbing!

Tricky passage in the middle, it's not really over when you grab the balls. With some beta from below, but since this was what I decided for anyway, I still consider this as onsight. Probably more like 6b?

An excellent climb! Quite scary over the bulge and then keep your shit together through the upper tufa. The clip after the first bulge is very hard to reach, a panic sling comes in handy.

Quick after shopping visit of the old project: A sleepy teen belayer left me no other choice than to pull through the trick is really to find the right beta through the upper void

Sustained fingery technical wall climbing & a very hard sequence at the very top, when you already spend all your juice. Still not sure how to exactly clip the chain.

If you have a slow team, do your project as warm-up! Very smooth go, not even pumped thanks to a new much better beta for the finish

Definitely an error to try again toprope, once again getting too late and dark and windy and rainy for a real try. Far from at the limit, most likely easier than 7a. Note to self: Get on your projects at the beginning of the day

Ups, gleich im ersten ernsthaften Versuch geschafft! Knapp aber am Ende doch drangeblieben

My first 6c! Hard pulling over the top bulge.

Yeah, finally I made it! Some tries on this beast during the last years. This time didn't felt too hard - I must have improved.

Really hard only until 2nd bolt, but the rest is not totally given neither. A bit too short, more a highball boulder...

Once you have mastered the hard pull out of the overhanging crack, difficulties are mostly over.

6c in topo, big fun doing a techno ascent. High gravity today...

Yes! Zitat Arvin: "Am schönsten ist der Sieg wenn man von der Niederlage gekostet hat" P.S.: Clip the last bolt so late that you don't need it anymore...

Somehow fought down the crux. Getting dark, no time for redpointing, made this one anyway already some years ago.

Brutal start followed by a delicate traverse.

Repeat. Such a nice route.

Nice route with some hard metres over the first red bulge. Next time: redpoint!

Repeat. Totally wet first half, still brilliant to climb.

Finally redpointed it after failing on it last year. The delicate move to the middle slot still feels terrible

Not bad, much more homogenous than Pepa. 3 tries until fingers were warm and sequence was figured out.

Excellent good-bye climbing in the evening sun, the Mallorca week is already over :-( Looks harder than it actually is.

Much easier if you know what to do

Shit, should have led it. Was still too impressed from this shitty 6a slab before. This one is much better.

Everything else around was occupied by Spaniards, so no other choice than warmup onsight

too lazy to lead...

Until 2nd top. Quite funny and relaxing upper half.

thermal overload - one short stop after the crux to get rid of shirt...

First a delicate traverse right, then a powerful traverse left. Lucky 2nd attempt.

Pumpy moves on huge holds, tricky at the very end. Got a finger stuck when clipping the chain - panic!

Sustained climbing on small holds, never hard, never easy

2nd go. Fingery and technical start, then easier but still not a present

Aargh, I really suck on slabs

Gets gradually harder towards the top. Anchor (single bolt) hard to reach / clip, would have been better placed 20cm to the left.

Repeat. Cool traverse holding a mono like the pros in the movies then power through the upper overhang.

Warm up repeat. Very crimpy at the beginning, then too easy.

Not really good, but I had to complete it after some tries last year. Cool crossover move though.

Repeat to put up the rope for the others

Quickdraw rescue mission for Laurent completed!

Tricky move left, and then I went too far left having a great fight up the crimps there.

Cold start #2. No mercy of the team today, main job is babysitting...

This time a very smooth go. Just for the start boulder a 6b is deserved imho, and the top arete is not obvious neither.

Missed a bolt, attack was the best form of defense

Just to try the correct sequence -easier like that.

Committing move at the end, be tall or fly.

Unplanned support ascent to LFF. One hard pull incl. clip, then it's over.

Nice varied route, the crux ist to leave the big overhanging holes low down. Thermal overload even in toprope after the sun came around, sooo hot and damp today.

Nice and long line with several distinct sections, the crux is to get over the slightly overhanging crimpy wall at the top with a few hard pulls. 2nd go, unluckily too stupid for onsighting this...

Short and tricky

Amazing: 2 monos on a 6a+
