Ascents in Alcañiz

Made some good progress on this, but not enough to get it done in the one day we had here

Fun steepness. Probably should have flashed but forgot to do my shoes up and pulled the right one off on the heel hook. Duh

Sandy slab to warm up. Nice

Excellent, this one.

Broke the starting foot and the jug at the end of the sit start sequence. Decided to just start from the first remaining good holds. Enjoyable. Spooky top out.

Hehehehe one of the holds is shaped like a big penis.

Lots of falls off this trying to figure out beta. Maybe I've contrived it to be a bit harder than necessary by sticking a bit too far right, but it's good fun hitting that improbable pocket. Sit start adds nothing to the grade imo.

Pretty jugs.

Sweet slopers. Like a gym climb.

Couple of quick shots. Almost got it. Just couldn't link the last hold.

Spooky slab mantle up top.

2 hard moves off the ground up an aesthetic and otherwise easy arrête.

Big moves between big holds.

Fun slab.

Ridiculous and hilarious. Almost flash; probably fell off because I was too busy laughing at the seal-like mantle I was doing.

Had a handful of shots invited by someone else who was working it. Feels like it would go with an afternoon of work. Cool big moves through this steep little roof.

Easier if you can jam? Feels like a 6b+ crack route crux to me.

Had a play around at the end of the day. Oddly, all the holds are wet even though the sector is generally dry. Seems like a really cool technical problem dependent on good footwork.

Almost flashed it but the topout is too scary with just one pad/spotter. Retreat! Aesthetic and cool technical problem.

Sick pockets and beautiful slopes.

Ridiculous kneebar.

Very amusing. I managed to twist 180° and sit down inside the crack.

I found this super hard. Matilde flashed it of course. I spent half the day getting the angle just right to bump between the pockets. Maybe would have been easier if I'd figured out earlier that I was consistently aiming for the wrong exit hold...

End of the day attempt. Extremely cool. Amazing how many varied techniques can be required in 3m of climbing.

Very soft.

The mantle was so awkward I actually rolled 180° into it. Fun though.
