Ascents in Europe by Vin Send

35m. Varied fine climbing on subtle unchalked holds and tiny feet.

Several pumpy sequences on medium holds. Love the feet. Thanks Kiki.

Technical

Nice pockets that go diagonally left. Then brutal with determining polished hands and soapy feet. Thanks Kiki.

Megapopular. More schlager than poem. Steep fun on juggy pockets. Fantastic view.

Like a dream. ❤️ Just before dark.

Varied. Tricky puzzles.

Steep line on reachy jugs. Act quick and don't hold back on strange dropknees.

Restday for the toes. Sorry biceps.

Steep, gradual and flowy.

Vertical slab that constantly keeps you on the edge. Sweet funky moves. Perfect. Ultraclassic in the grade.

Very good rock. Tricked by the start.

2nd Go

L1+L2 (35m). Very nice. Builds up slowly, eventually demanding funky moves and a hard to read end. Thanks Kiki.

L2 runs between two majestic drapestones and is really good. My onsight got killed early in L1, in which it is harder to find the flow and bet on the right tufa.

2nd Go

Everything seemed the crux. Sustained. Mean straightwall boulders. Actually nice for their style. Thanks Kiki.

Hard

Magical journey that goes 50 meters up on bigger-than-life tufas, with eventually no trace of chalk. Highly recommended adventure, especially at dusk all alone in the canyon.

No reason not to extend this beauty!! Ok having a short rope is a reason.

Vertical climb between dramatic tufas.

Classic must-do long 6c.

I grew too trustful for Chulilla's polished feet and zip off early while clipping. Later comes a treacherous end. Pretty nonetheless. Thanks Kiki. No thanks slippery foot.

2nd Go

Toe- and fingertipnigthmare, can't stay! Blank wall ahead! Aaaaaah..... Foreward anyway! Again and again, like this from the middle to the top.

Hard

Good once the routes split. Not as coherent as the sector's eponymous line that goes left, but very good nonetheless, with some dire moments. Thanks Kiki.

Surprisingly tricky start meters.

Hard

Dramatic crackflakedihedral. Really cool. Comparable in grade and style to Freyr's (Belgium) Liedekerke and Love Me Tender.

Hyperbolic route. Aesthetic climbing 👌.

Soft

Absolutely stunning. Long continuous route on 'gouttes d'eau'. Just perfect. Dancing. Toes are less enthusiast though.

Big fun fissure with cavities. The polished feet don't spoil it. Thanks Kiki.

Must-do on this bright orange wall. Pretty tough boulder early on. And delicate resistance climbing all the way, on narrow slopery stuff.

Yes! Weird and elusive the entire way up. Magic if it works. Glad i didn't fall because i would never have figured how to get back in. Buñol seems to be the anti holiday grade place.

Hard

Techy and tricky on small stuff. Welcome to Corral de Cabras. Goodbye simple pop climbing.

More jugs in one route than in a whole year in Belgium.

Soft

Generous beautiful pillar. So much climbing in this one. Thanks Kiki.

MAGNIFICENT. Blobby flake/dihedral that goes on for 35m. Felt mean in the scorching sun, having to put in 17 draws. Once over, I felt like I ran a 15km comp with a sprint right before the finish. Probably took as long. Skyhigh wall in a sacred place, full of life.

Long and a few times interesting. One of my favourites here.

Good one with great tufas! Keeps serving ergonomically shaped jugs. Max grade V in the 1930's (...like most routes here, which might explain the incredible popularity).

Soft

Waw! 38 vertical meters of jugs except for one puzzly moment. Cool cruisy climbing. Thanks Kiki.

Soft

Maybe 6a

Soft

More like 6b?

Soft

Baffling crystals. Thanks Kiki.

Far-stretching physical moves on hurting holds, with an awkward climax. Did a left handjam, bomber enough to make your hand purple, cross over to the awkward drag and layback. Hard, but can't agree that it's harder than Hierbas on the right. Thanks Kiki.

2nd Go

No chalk traces. Real route finding in a natural beauty (if you find the flow), Céüzian style 😍 (perfect minimal subtle feet on a vertical slab like in the Pont sur l'Infinit sector).

Dance like a snake the entire way up. Too perfect.

Short route on microfeet and crimps. Thanks Wim and Sabine.

Soft

Very nice delicate intro to the esoteric crimpy sector.

Speaking line. Deviant moves needed aaaall the way up. No crimps. Thanks Kiki.

Soft

There is no bread for so much chorizo. Monster compared to other 7a's here. Can I log it as an 8a? Did I do smth wrong? It starts with an elusive crimpy boulder. Higher up I stranded on the blank wall with shallow microscopic monoholds, and feet small enough to think you're floating. And when I finally managed to reach up.. just more nothingness again? So you crimp the holdless void crying out for jezus. Thanks Kiki.

Hard

Logical natural line following the vertical flat holds along the microfracture. Three times awkward but still straightforward Siurana climbing. Thanks Kiki.

Soft

35m smooth Siuranian climbing.. Felt like hours passed. I was in trance. Violent wind gusts wanted to sweep me off, some soft rain fell, but you don't want to let go of this beautiful route. Thanks Kiki. (tried it years ago)

Soft

All jugs. The chipped one in the crux is hard to expect there. Thanks Hans.

2nd Go

The original superpumpy and direct 50m-line on heavenly Dolomite: L1 by the acrobatic left (the newer right variant is less hard and continuous) + L2 (runout with great awkward riddly big moves over intimidating roofs and flakes). Thanks Brecht.
