Ascents in Valea Cernei

A lot of really nice holds with big moves in between. After the ledge the rock changes quite a bit for a few technical crimps with an interesting finish inside an overhanging crack. Felt around 5.10c/d for me, easier than Vegeta, with bigger holds/bigger moves being more my style than small crimps and bad feet.

A bouldery little 5.9+ dihedral crack. Can set anchors from above. We broke a big RH jug off down low.

A really nice line of crimps, textures, and weird feet. Technical dessert for the enthusiast. Around 5.10d.

The top of this route is quite literally, full of crap. You might want to check the ledge from above to see the condition of the finish before inadvertently covering yourself in bird feces. Kind of awkward climbing, not the greatest warmup.

Really powerful crux after an initial easy section on jugs. The boulder problem builds in intensity before the big move then lets off a bit into power endurance on good edges...you don't get a restful position until you're standing at the anchors.

Worked the moves until the roof, then got too late to finish. HARD boulder on powerful edges. Could not do the last move from the undercling and crimp to the jug thing out right. Feet are hard to set.

Awkward out-of-place bolting on the lower part, bolts 2&3 trend way too far right just below the jug rail. The obvious beta follows the arete to the break. After bolt 3 it's fine, and the rest of the climb is really enjoyable and techy.

Softer than my ding-dong after 3 whiskeys. Still, an incredible route that shouldn’t be missed. 6c+/7a.

Average start, cool finish

Difficult bouldery start moves with a tits-hard crux surmounting the roof on small crimps. Left knee-pad is helpful and you have to sort feet quick or you'll get spit off. Setting anchors was a little tricky until you find the holds

My dumbass beta made this feel 6b. Cool line but not as classic as Swiss Cheese.

Not often you get to do a route like this. So so cool.

Hard 5.10d/11a. Short and punchy with some serious overhang on crimps. Finish is a little uninspiring and goofy.

Very nice one.

Very tricky and sustained. Climbing is great but the bolting sucks.

Cool one. Very diverse climbing. At first seems quite pumpy and sustained but actually there are many good rests. It's harder for shorties. 4 m. run-out at the top.

Awesome route!

Great line.

Great climb with 2 not cool run-outs at the top.

A-ma-zing!

The crux is before the second bolt. Falling at the crux could be a ground fall. Apart from that, climbing itself is great. It's chossy in the upper part. 6b/+

Quite pumpy and committing but it's all there.

Tough for the grade. crux is hard to resolve but possibly it's a case of "easy once you know how"

Short but fun route

Sustained climbing so a little harder than Easy way.

One rest at the layback section

very hard for the grade of 5c+ at the crux section. Possibly 6a+ or 6b.

Brilliant funky climbing. So much fun. The best route in Romania so far!
