Ascents in Reunion Buttress as Onsight

awkward start

What a cruisy, fun multi-pitch with great views!

A tricky starting crux leading to pleasant face climbing on nice edges for the rest of the climb.

A pumpy power endurance climb that feels harder because of the polished holds. A tricky, traversy, crux sequence greets you from the 2nd to 4th bolts.

Slab with over hang

Ascent on 11 Oct 2017

Little overgrown on the scramble of Pitch 2 and good to have more alpine draws to reduce drag over the sharp rocks for Pitch 2 and 3.

With the stretch of a 60m rope, you'll be able to rappel to the ground directly below from Pitch 2 anchor. Take note to lower to the right side of wall (not the start of Pitch 1) and be sure to set the middle mark of rope at anchor and tie ends of rope!

Had a cheeky look at the 7b, but decided the better of it

The first 2 pitches can be linked together. Fun face climbing for the 1st pitch and easy scrambling for the 2nd pitch. More strenuous face climbing on the 3rd pitch. We tied 2 ropes together to do just 1 rappel to the ground.
