Extremely sharp. After managing the difficult part, the foothold breaks and you get flung into the sharp rock 😩

Extreme sharp, cannot hold small grips without damaging your fingers. This crag is a definite no-go!

This is an amazing route. All that a good mountain experience demands. A definite must-do. This is the only route that doesn’t damage your hands

Gearing up.

3 moves from glory, better than expected. Not enough kneebar aids to get me up this one at the moment. Awesome route to get fit on.

Very trad.

Classic climb. Sustained vertical pumper on great rock, following a line of pockets. What more could you want. Had three goes, not quite fit enough.

Scrappy first 5 metres, then classy gymnastic climbing up high.

The first bolt is really high. Could be scary for 5b climbers. Otherwise nice warm-up

Nice route but totally sandbagged. 6b at least...

Very pumpy fight in these super greasy/ wet conditions. Anyone knows what kind of weather you need for this crag to be dry?

Onsight attempt was rudely ended by some absolutely stupid tick marks.

Amazing climb, a demanding for the grade if you are not familiar with crack climbing! It's good to go there in summer, otherwise the crack (and the crux) gets super slimy.

Scrambling as the sun set

keeps you on your toes

definitely keeps you on your toes! especially exciting with a group of Italians yelling in my ear...

aaah what? i really missed something here.one really blank section where it was either too wet for friction or i just couldnt reach?? or i just didnt read it well at all! not as nice as the other 2 7as. first day of not one day on and one day off. my back is definitely feeling it...

This one would be a classic but is pretty choosy... wear a helmet especially if you're belaying nice climbing though and very wild... If you want a nice sunset shot this one is a good climb for photos

odd climbing, the smooth rock is nice but the sharp rock is sharp haha

The crux at 15mts or so it is pretty hard for a 6a+.

Lovely route. Stay left if you don't like exposure, or go right for a bit of exposure adrenaline.

Only 3 meters of crux at the top make it worth it. Interesting crux though.

My climbing partner suggested to use a clipstick and I am glad I did... A piece of rock broke twice sending me into the air before the first bolt. After that the route is lovely, with the last 10 metres or so very sustained. A little bit hard for a 6b.

Tricky sharp boulder over rooflet

Fun traddy climb.

Pumpy

Nothing special. Sharp slabbing.

Awesome! 2nd shot. Guidebook 8a

Surprise rat at the start of the crack. I knew it was there... And yet I still let off a shriek....

Had a big goal of having a big day... But I was a lot more tired than I thought I would be and this took longer than I hoped. Good climb but hard if you're not fresh. It came down to one move... Found a cool sequence but unfortunately it was a sharp prickly one. My day is over now....

Interesting warm up; not the typical grey slabs.

Grim extension - best avoided.

My assessment of "hard for a few bolts, then a 6a slab to the top" didn't match reality. This was on from start to finish. Big fight.

Had to do this after Sam's onsight. Jesus, it was hard. Tons of pockets.

quite fingery

Defeated. Not much chance of doing it, the cruxes are too hard coming in pumped, and there wasn't enough time to tech it out and dial it in anyway... Amazing route though, will be coming back for it one day!

too sharp to be enjoyable

nice beginning, the rest is generic limestone slab

sharp and fingery start, hard

sharp

Super sharp. Beware if you have fat fingers ... You may not fit into the pockets!!! Über hard for the grade.
