Ascents in Morocco having Sport CPR

Absolute mega classic at the grade! Climbed on an 80m single. Linked pitches 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and 8&9. There’s only 9 pitches though, not sure why it’s listed as 10 here. Not polished and not super sharp either. Descent is easy scramble up a bit and right until you see the cairns. Delightful day.

It is called La Classique for a reason. Obvious line when you walk through the gorge, very well bolted in general and not polished at all even though the route was opened in 1977. Very continuous in the grade throughout the whole adventure.

Early start made our fingers freeze on the first pitch that probably is the hardest of all. Climbing felt better from then on. Favourite pitches probably #4 and #7. Last pitch felt harder than 5b/c and is the only one with run out bolting.

Not that easy to find your way to the plateau after topping out.

7 pitches. 250 meters. This thing was bolted ground up and with no chalk and all it's pretty scary to lead the 7a+ pitch after the crux pitch. Every pitch felt a bit sandbag. But over all... very good slab/face climbing.

6 pitches. 245 meters. This thing is a beauty.

10 pitches. 450 meters. Separated by a big vegetated platform halfway up. We finished on the route La July de Blair 7a over the original easier finish for a more sustained and better route overall.

I think it is easier grade if you have got crack climbing skills

It felt more like a 6b+

Such a good route

Feels hard but it's a overhanging hand/fist crack and these things are supposed to feel hard!

Kind of weird...

Technical climb on prefect rock.

First pitch only, then we bailed. Rock dangerous, many loose blocks- and I can tolerate choss!
