We started with a 6a to the left (felt like a 6b)

I almost took a big whip because of a slippery foot hold! But managed to stay on the wall. Felt hard for the grade

I fell at the first crux, then restarted and climbed it with no falls. Felt hard for the grade again

Hard for the grade lol

6 6b+ Sport lead by Jorge Packer

I think we climbed a 6b+ by accident. I just followed the line of bolts, but later I checked in the guide that the last pitch splits in 3 🤷‍♂️

A bit confusing from the start. We couldn't find the proper start, so we climbed a 6a to get to the first anchors. Grades were a bit sandbag, I guess it's classic grading system from the old days... 6a felt like 6b, 6c+ felt like 7a.

Went out with a local guide Philippe. Super short approach, 5min drive from La Palud and 2 min walk from the lookout. Recent route, bolted in 2015 in between some classics. First pitch was mega long, pumped out near the end and rested before the finish. Phillipe shouted out his phone was ringing as he seconded up. I took the rope in while he answered questions in a radio interview about the verdon! Rain started to pick up near the end of the climb. Couldn't pull the crux move on the last pitch on first go, rested and the wall became soaked. Luckily, friends who had just topped out threw down a top rope and helped me through the last 10m in the pouring rain. Safe to say, Phillipe was freezing down at the belay.

In the new guidebook the last 4 pitches get 6b grading, which is fair enough. I did bail after the fourth pitch though as it was too painful to climb slabs on a hot day with new shoes ..

I sat on the rope a little, whipped as well.

It was a pretty hot day and we were mostly climbing in the sun. Every step on those Verdon footholds was very painful. The big toes are not used to this style of climbing I reckon.

Insane!

The quote of the day ended up being: Come on Dimi, Allez! Courage! You are just climbing a 6a+

I found it pretty interesting how every pitch had traversing bits. I usually froth traverses. By the time we got to the top I think I got to understand a little better the Verdon style and what one needs to do to climb here. So Stoked!!!!! Such a unique place!

1 6a+ Second lead by Fabian Michel

Starts with a pretty technical slab. Challenging for the whole pitch.

2 6a+ Sport lead by ToxicD

Pretty cool traverse to the right. Afterwards steep face climbing in jugs (if you find them).

3 6a+ Second lead by Fabian Michel

Starts with a steep dihedral, some good holds and underclings. The crux is a tricky traverse to the right.

4 6a+ Sport lead by ToxicD

Two Crux sequences. One at the start and one at the end before the tree. Vertical face climbing on pockets and crimps.

5 6a+ Second lead by Fabian Michel

Starts with a traverse to reach the huge dihedral to the right. Traverse is easy, steep dihedral offers good holds and at the end there's a vertical section with a short Crux.

If you did the variant 6a+ last pitch instead of the 6c+ pitch, this would be the Bunny Bucket Buttress of the Verdon. Each pitch is better than the last, and the top 3 are rad and hard! I led the odd-numbered pitches (linked p3 & 4), and was stoked to onsight the crux final pitch in the rain. Stunning nails blank 40m slab that kept me fighting the whole way. Did the 200m abseil in torrential rain, hid in a cave for 3 hours, then had an epic retreat across the flooded verdon river via tyrolean.

The first three pitches are good, but this climb is a classic because of the last three pitches. The last one is just amazing: in parts slightly overhanging with pockets - this reminded me a bit of the Frankenjura.

Epic route! The true verdon experience! Runouts galore, no fall zones, tricky route finding, and an absolutely mega classic sustained crux pitch on a striking arete. Overall, the route climbed very similarly to a trad line, with the most common sequences being delicate laybacks on technical smeary feet. Probably the best sport multi I've ever done!
