Ascents in North Cape

5 Sterne. Geniale Dachresistance

couldn't really get a good feel for the moves in the top section as the afternoon clouds parted and got melted off the bouldery final crux

2 burn getting a feel for it, solid tufa wrangling

2 shots. Amazed I pulled the lower moves second shot. Just gotta get my contact strength for the crux.

2 shots, linkage progress

Another flail session. Worked out my tactic for the top section... Then watched a 15 year old nearly tick it second shot....

Still not sure how I'm going to clip the crux draw but lots of progress. Strenuous on my left hip for the last crux move but I'm sure it will get stronger...if I don't break it!!

3 more shots

Great climbing on tufas, a lot of heelhooking and bouldery at the crux, could have been a Flash with the right beta...

Sent it

One quick burn. Crux felt a bit sketchy.

Gearing up.

Short and bouldery with some knee trickery. [3]

YES. No kneebars. Could not make the dropknee work at the top, so threw from the tufa

The start of a great project!!! 💪

Got all the moves pretty quickly except the 1 deadpoint crux move at the top. Coming back in a couple days to work the crux.

Did it in 3 sections, linked all the moves between the 2 knee bars on first attempt.

Pretty sure this will go next trip.

Getting closer. Have it in 2 sections now. Hard though!

Finally sent it! 6th session over 2 trips.

First 8a, have officially skipped 7c+ now.

Wind was pretty crazy, but that made the friction nice at least.

The crux for me weirdly ended up being the middle section, not the top. But I think the top just suited me super well as have been doing a lot of board climbing lately.

power endurance - sent as warm up !!!

Awesome bouldery short route 2 shots, got the sequence now

2 shots to get the moves sorted... Now.. Where's my power endurance??

3 more shots today, got it well sorted now, will come back a bit fresher should go in a shot or two

Aargh! Got the crux move... Got to looking at the last draw... But... No gas in the taaaaaank!!!! So close! And unexpectedly so far so soon!

Finally! Skipped the bolt, moved my foot wider and it went! And not even pumped!

2nd shot today

Easy , tricked it away

Super climbing. One million kneebars. 7b+ max.

So, so, so close. A foot skidded off, otherwise I was in cruisie mode. Another day. W/ Swedish Mike

W/Chris Beadsmoore First shot of the day. Back down for coffee, then I caught the boat to Telendos, walked to Eros, did a few routes, walked back, went up to the Grande Grotta and stripped our draws of Priapos by myself, in the dark, then went out to dinner, came back and packed to leave. That was a pretty full day.

Its been downgraded to 7b+, could easily be 7b with the right beta.

Got it in 3 sections now. Feeling good. Think I've worked out the beta

Closest yet. Got the beta down. Super nice on the way up then fell clipping the chains.

Got it!
