Begehungen in Raco De La Coma Closa

WOW, simply AMAZING. MUST DO! I have a hard time believing that there is a more beautiful route out there in this beautiful world but I would love to be proven wrong. What a journey this send has been: 7 goes in two sessions. We ended up going there on the "rest day" and of course I tried it (how could you not Flo). In the first go I found no solution for the two boulder problems (start and mid). In the second go I had a solution for the start and in the third go I after almost giving up I found an elegant technical solution for the 2nd boulder. Today, it was raining and humid and we weren't even sure if we should go. In the end we went and after failing in the first go I sent in the worst try I had, where my feet slipped 4 times in total, the first crux felt hard and I almost blew it after the second crux by completely disregarding my solution and free-styling everything (my technical easy beta turned into powerful fridge hugging and physical climbing). The final easy meters felt shaky but I mobilized all my reserves and pinched the tufas like I was hanging on for my life. After clipping the chains I felt like vomiting from exhaustion. First 8a of the year.

#2go Another superb tufa line with lots of kneebars:) tricky to leave the tufa!

Swinging around on big jugs! So much fun:)

The best tufa line I've ever done! Stemming, cuddling, battling, pinching and dancing around these two tufas;) kinda strange but a must-do!

Biiig moves followed by a not that obvious crux;)
