Begehungen in Flône haben Beta

Found L2 tougher than L3..

Mean but cool dülfer/mantle-crux to go into L2. 7b+ in topo. After a tropical and wet week we were given a short weather window on a drizzly summer evening. Thanks Kiki. 1d/2t

Awesome route! Stoked with the flash thanks to Alana’s excellent beta (+general hype and encouragement)

Some laybacks and fun moves - a little dirty but overall a nice climb. Started raining en route but cleared pretty quickly. Glad I didn’t fall, ledges make for a bit of over gripping!

A puzzle of a climb, super different to what I’m used to climbing. Lots of pistol squats and tiny holds. Super satisfying send!

Race against your exploding toes in this ode to the obscure dark art of blank slab climbing. Climaxing runoutish final. Thanks Kiki for elusive beta.

needed a lot of rests in the upper part, but was able to do all the moves.

Un peu court

Première longeur sympa sans plus .

Deuxième longeur très belle avec un dernier pas tout à la fin a gérer avec le tirage.

M'a semblé bien plus simple qu'une 7B

Tricky start

Couldn't figure out crux in middle

Doable with training

A joy to greenpoint. Long and fair trad climbing, a good variety of placement options! Great warm-up.

Beautiful and delicate first pitch, gracefully lead by Pieter. I had a very unexpected foot slip at the first anchor, but apart from a nuisance and a spoiled flash no biggie. The second pith boils down to one serious 6c move and some intense laybacking for the remaining bolts. With some beta from below I managed to find conistent beta through the crux. It's one to take home another day!

One fall early in the second pitch, not really expected and a bit of a shy manoeuvre... Second pitch should be rated 6b-ish. Pieter put up a fight and pulled on the very last draw in a stressy moment, but apart from that great work!

We installed the top rope to fool around. This is a very viable candidate to RP7a, some powerful gaston and push-and-pulling but short, clear and doable. Want to lead it next time and see how the more powerful moves feel in lead.

People tell me convincingly it's 7a. Here, most folks write that it's 7b. Anyway: after the easy first half comes a consistent crack that requires epic dülfer moves. Love it! Thanks Kiki.

2nd Go

L1+L2. Instant classic.
