Feels much harder than Little Big Wall. There are several really strenous sequences. In the steepest one, the good sidepull probably was solid once but now it's crumbling, making that move even more reachy. I expected the usual runout at the end but it suddenly gets overhanging again and I guess I really need to save some strength for that. It looks like a good hold broke off there entirely, too.

Feel quite confused by this one.
It goes extremely close to the 6c+ and you often feel like cheating.
My friend did upper crux with right sequence and I tried (as I supposed more fair) left sequence. I did not manage to do it all the way - but the left variant is definitely possible, but quite demanding.
I'm still not sure which way was supposed buy the author of the route.

7b | ★★ Demir Kazık (Demir Kazik) - with Ellen | 25m, 10 | Fri 11th Mar 2022 | |||||
Surprisingly doable! The crux is a wide move to the left with some confusing foot work, followed by not-so-good holds that basically lead into the crux of Toros, but leaving it right away. Don't clip the wrong bolt! The correct one is loose, unfortunately... A bit further up there's a really far move out of two underclings, which I hope will still be as easy for when linking it all.

David said it was soft for the grade (which I agree), but thought I’d give it a try. Made it through the first crux onsight, but second crux at the top chains had to work out. If you are tall you can skip it and go straight to the jugs. Shorter people will have to work out some sneaky beta but it can be done! Would have went back if it wasn’t the last day. Great climb!

Finally a 6c on-sight. Have been close for months in getting one, sometimes just getting to the last bolt. This is a 6c, it has some bumpy lock-off moves in the start. Soft for 6c but harder than correctly graded 6b+, fits with other 6cs of the style: overhanging. Similar to similar length overhanging 6cs in Sweden. Downgrade is inaccurate.

Oof. Now that's a 7b, I suppose. The dihedral is tricky but doable, and I got quite far in the roof. I couldn't figure out how to exit it though. I climbed back to the fixed draw (that probably just belongs to Poseidon) and cleaned it from there. I think I need some beta or at least an extension from the next bolt.

First attempt just to first permadraw, was still pumped from the 6c onsight. Then fought my way up 2nd time to the top. I need the first permadraw lengthened and need to figure out more optimal beta in the start. First 7b hangdog within a session. Love this route.

7b | ★★★ Poseidon — 2 attempts | 20m, 9 | Fri 24th Nov 2023 | |||||
I had a fever and a nasty sinus infection, climbed it with tissues stuffed in my sports bra to blow my nose I knew I had no chance of the send. Warmed up to the 3rd to last QD/bolt 6 (used to be a first permadraw), had beta I thought would work. Went on it for a second go, tried a send go, but failed at just how much left hip twist I needed to optimize beta between bolt 3-4. Fixed that, did the lovely bit (left tufa and some jugs to bolt 5) up to bolt 6 which I had extended with a long + medium DMM QD, it went well, but the beta I had from hang dogging didn't work on a 2nd go. Instead of going from a left sloper to a tiny crimp, I needed to go towards the right to catch a sloper edge with my right hand, move feet, traverse right, then go up. Then I was exhausted and my head cold got to me, I had to rest a bit before doing the last bolt. Not entirely sure about one move from last bolt/permadraw, what hand and foot to use on the left after the clip before deadpointing to the very last hold. Anyhow, had I not been sick I am sure I could have given this a real solid send go and sent it! Fastest I ever put a 7b together. Sad to leave it behind, beautiful route!
