Ascents in Val d'Algone by Vanessa Wills

Nice varied and technical route, no real sting in the tail, but a few of cruxy sequences below

Started up in new climbing shoes and had to swap at the hands free rest, but still managed to fall off after at mid crux. Worked out a better sequence for the mid crux for height. on sighted the start and end cruxes.

Nice varied route, a little bit of dodgy rock up top

Hardest climb of the day because the jug to get to anchors was so greasy it was near impossible to hang onto, and I couldn’t waste our mistaken purchase of 15 euro friction lab chalk on it! After a few parties had piled a bucket of chalk on it became less greasy

A bit dusty, hard final moves

Again, some damp holds, but avoidable.

A long corner that overhung about 5 metres.

Do the move to the anchor rather than clip from undercling

Lots of foot movements

Second bolt should be lower

Short crux sequence, not a great plan on the 10th route of the day

A bit dusty. Got suckered into a sucker pocket

Wet pockets. This crag is probably super in late summer.

Some damp ledges, but good moves. Guidebook info regarding crux seems quite wrong
