Ascents in Armeos by Max Nanao having sport-cpr or ascent-date

1 go bolt to bolt to put draws in, 2 RP attempts. Could not find any decent kneebars, so no pads. I'll say it again: amazing line.

An apprenticeship in kneebarring for me. Pretty astonishing how good the rock still is for such an old route. I used very different beta from any I have seen for lower and upper cruxes (no toe hook, and no weird match in upper tufa hold), and put the draw on the wrong crux bolt, so hd to clip from the middle of the crux. oops. 5 or 6? total tries

Still can't believe this went. Even though the first time I got on this was in 2017 according to my notes, this was the 7th try. I usually give it one try per trip (if that). Such a cool route, but I am happy not to have to tie in and stare at that endless line of draws receding into the sky again

Excellent varied line. Chloe found some ridiculously good kneebars, but I decided to go with my "move fast" strategy. Maybe easier than 7b?

So good! The top is pretty hard in humid/soapy conditions

Did moves this summer. Worked out better beta this time! 3 total goes. Grade to be determined I guess, but 7c is painted on the rock

One go to put draws in and remember moves, second go to RP. Although there are numerous bomber knees in the lower section, I decided to forgo pads and knee barring and just mofe fast. What a line. Respect to all the onsighters - the end took me a while to figure out!

really nice! should get more stars

Sweated buckets keeping it together on this one. Just managed to get a knee in at the roof which saved me. Mid 30's in the shade.

nice orange rock. Maybe easier than 7a?

Found the lower part desperate! Amazingly good shape considering the age (the route, not me)

really cool drop knee higher up. a bit squeezed now.

A taste of Grenoble in Kaly -- techy! First tried this a couple of times last year. Came back with stronger fingers and better footwork. First go after working moves and hanging draws

getting onto the second part felt harder than 6c+ to me

First look at this impressive new Hannes line -- just amazing. One go to put draws in and one to TR

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

Cool route, but the lower section is quite slippery in humid conditions

First anchors. Clipping chains still a bit ridiculous

Third try. Another fabulous new addition -- Thanks, Hannes!

early sun! wind blew chalkbag sideways and dumped it into a cloud

Hardest send since I broke my damn wrist in November. another great route on the space terrace. Weighting the crappy right foot and optimistically slapping up right: so fun. First RP try after putting in the draws

So good. I really enjoyed this one.

Quite good. Exit was hard and techy.

MUCH easier with good conditions. This felt absolutely impossible in the heat but easy party today. even after getting thrashed on la looz

such a beautiful and diverse line. One of the best!

bolting kinda sucks. Interesting moves though! I underestimated the upper boulder problem on the tufas and should not have! A little reach makes the lower crux a lot easier

First tries during the summer. amazed how much easier it felt under good conditions!

Much better routes right next door

Seriously one of the best on the island. so good.

Repeat. Putting draws in for Chloé

short and thuggy but fun

not a great warmup. I thought the crux move was harder than anything on fossil wall. Otherwise nice.

working out beta again

repeat, to warm up

high point -- 17 draws up. Very hot and humid

Good fun. 7a IMO

Felt as hard as lucky strike. Pretty sure I have been on this one before. The upper bolt at the bulge is spinning and can’t be tightened. Clip the lower one.

Put rp because I probably have done taz at some point. First time in the ext which is great!

must improve kneebar game

meh

Fun. Gotta come back for the EXT

To warm up. Chloe sent!

to warm up and put draws in for CZ. NB I also did trela when it was 6c, before the big tufa broke
