Ascents in North Face

so much fun. Long draws a good idea for the groove

Another mega classic by Piola! It felt way harder than 6c+

First route in Manikia. Feel very lucky to climb these routes when they feel so new. This was mega feature climbing. Stem!

Felt a decent step up from Gyristike sto skotádi.

The extension! Full on tufa wrestling forever. And hand jams?! Was fairly peaking. Welcome back to Greece. PS: renovating is not training.

Eng: Flash Flood. One of the routes I'll always remember. Long line with magnificent drapes. This will be one of the biggest classics of Manikia.. Double send with Hans! 2d/4t

Good. Thanks Kiki.

Spagaatopolis in the upper part. Thanks Kiki.

Eng: Shot in the dark. Preferred it over the left one, though I ripped a long flappy along the side of my pinkie from a dynamic move over sharp broccolis..

Pleasant line where you can keep a good pace, no cruxes, very readable moves. Thanks Kiki.

30m/16pts. Hipturner! Spicy in the middle between the two curtains. Riddly in the top traverse on those slightly overhanging dripstones. Thanks Hans for the draws, French and Swiss folks for cheers and Kiki for belay.

Eng: Stuffed Squid. Awkward moves while the sharp broccolis grate your hands like cheese, but make breaky crispy sounds when you go spagaat on them. Thanks Kiki.
