5.6 More Cowbell Trad 17m
Attempted to lead it -- but after falling about 5 times at the start, gave up.

 
5.10a Parnoosh Pizzaz Mixed trad 12m, 1
5.6 More Cowbell Trad 17m
I couldn't pull the start with my rack, but was able to do so (with a lot of struggle) on TR.

It feel like a V0+ to V1 boulder problem to get started, then the rest is pretty mellow.

 
5.10d San Diago Trad 20m Very Good
I got a lot further than I expected. I need to make another TR attempt when I'm not injured.

5.10b Easy C'est beau, man! Sport 8 Very Good
5.8 Trench Warfare Mixed trad 27m, 8 Very Good
Lower bolted section went far more smoothly than I expected.

 
5.9 Chasseur de primes Mixed trad 9 Good
Sport variation.

 
5.10c Easy Dalle masquée Sport 7 Good
I think the crux bit is height-dependent. For someone taller, it might only be 5.10b, but if it takes two or three moves, rather than one, to reach the critical crimp, it would be harder.

5.9 Birthday Bunduru
1 5.9 25 Trad

Was soaking wet, so much more challenging. Rested on gear about half-way up, otherwise clean.

2 5.7 23 Trad

First few moves off the anchor are 5.7 -- rest about 5.5 or easier.

3 5.9 36 Trad

Took three tries to get the initial traverse right from the anchor, which is thin slab (5.9). Rest goes closer to 5.7, but is run-out near the end.

4 5.5 35 Second

A rambly final pitch, and committing as a 5.5 leader since moves at grade need to be done before the first gear placement.

Trad 120m Very Good
Lead this with P1 soaking wet, except followed P4.

5.5 hiroshima Mixed trad 30m, 9 Good
Actually climbed this as Hirosaki -- gear up the opening section, then past the intermediate anchor on the bolts from Nagasaki to finish on its anchor.

 
5.6 nagasaki Sport 20m, 3 Good
Climbed this as Nagashima -- first three bolts of Nagasaki, then switch to the bolted (formerly trad) section of Hiroshima.

5.10a Déclic Sport 17m, 7 Very Good
The finish is a bit run-out, but the climbing eases off, too.

5.10b Une petite vite d'amour Sport 14m, 5 Good
I was surprised to get this clean. Guess I have to lead it, next.

 
5.10a Hard Fausse Alerte Sport 20m, 10 Very Good
Sustained slab.

 
5.8 Petite Gymnastique Sport 8m, 4 Very Good
Short, but good.

 
5.8 G Il est grand temps Mixed trad 25m, 1 Classic
Start was soaking wet and slimy, other bits were wet in the crack, so we decided to TR it.

 
5.10b Go Godasse Sport 26m, 10 Good
One little foot slip!

 
5.7 Hard Carrefour Giratoire Sport 27m, 10 Very Good
5.7 Hard Dans le Bon Vieux Temps Sport 32m, 13 Very Good

Secteur les Escaliers
5.8 Hard L'Abeille Mixed trad 21m, 5 Very Good
Mostly on Simon's gear, though I did add one piece. Gear was good, and good stance for placing it, so could easily have place it myself.

 
5.9 Hard Plein Des Mains Mixed trad 20m, 9 Very Good
5.9 Au Bord du Gouffre Sport 17m, 8 Very Good
Sat 4th May 2024 - Parc d'Escalade Julien Labedan
Le Mur Principale
5.6 Hard L'Éperon Trad 28m Good
Might be 5.7 if you avoid pulling on the large loose block.

 
5.8 ~5.9 Rive Gauche Trad 25m Very Good
Good climbing, but really hard for5.8, and looks like the gear would be tricky to place, too.

 
5.7 Hard La Fruitee Mixed trad 25m, 1 Good
5.7 Hard Momo Trad 25m Very Good
Fri 3rd May 2024 - Rocher du Capitaine
Les voies
5.5 Cueva de Blue Sport 3 Good
5.9 Relampago Trad Very Good
The hand jams are ok, but there's a lot more finger jams and finger locks on this than hand jams, and they're not-so-ok.

 
5.8 Nubes Sport 3 Good
5.8 Zenith Trad Good
5.9 DragonFly Mixed trad 2 Very Good
Wet in places, especially the crack, making it a bit more exciting.

 
5.8 Pourquoi pas ? Trad Average
Went smoother than I expected. I should lead this next time.

5.10a Obélix Trad Average

5.7 Scylla and Charybdis Sport 36m, 15 Very Good
Was wet in the first crux section, so had to avoid that to the right.

 
5.8 Jenga Sport 35m, 17 Classic
Driest route of the day - only the start (easy) was wet.

 
5.9 Kate and David's Excellent Adventure Sport 32m, 10 Classic
Notch through first bulge was wet, so had to divert to the right. Not easier, just drier.

 
5.7 PG Big Finish Sport 25m, 9 Good
Was wet in places, but mostly places that didn't matter.

 
5.8 ~5.8 Ovipositor to Sunday Morning Stroll Sport 25m, 10 Average
Climbed the start of Ovipositor, until the roof, then escaped left onto Sunday Morning Stroll.

 
5.5 Sunday Morning Stroll Sport 25m, 11 Average
The usual, bringing someone up so they can leave.

Lower Cliff
5.9 Hard Little Lion Face Sport 25m, 10 Good
5.7 Hard Randy Moss Sport 25m, 9 Very Good
5.7 Hard Giggles Sport 20m, 11 Very Good
I am coming to appreciate Giggles more and more for how solid and sustained the climbing is at the grade.

 
5.9 Hard Time to Rock It Sport 22m, 11 Very Good
If you can figure out the beta for the start, 5.9 is fair -- but it is a WEIRD start. If you don't figure out the beta, then it will feel MUCH harder. Also, might be height-dependent. We need to get a short climber to give it a try.

 
5.7 Stairway to Hell - right variant Trad 25m Good
Could use some more cleaning, but if that is done, would be a fine route.

 
5.8 ~5.9 Diggy Diggy Hole Sport 18m, 10 Very Good
Like many of the climbs at Lower Cliff, a bit stiff for the grade.
