Ascents in Spain by Matt Brooks

Super steep wild pockets.

Struggling to get my fingers in one pocket

Worked a good sequence, but how to clip ha ha

Technical and hard

This is awesome and quite hard.

Hard start - took a nasty fall when my foot popped going to the jug at the lip landing on the belay rope with my ribs. Recommend clipping the bolt above the lip with a stick to avoid this potential.

Solid mega classic on an impressive section of wall.

Rather long distance between the bolts, good climbing though.

Some awesome steep moves at the top! To be honest I’d rather go up Rauxa some more before traversing out. Less finger chewing locks, equal grade.

Mega, punted the first move, worked it out, lowered to the ground and onsighted the remaining 32m, note this is more like 35m long.

This thing is dam hard and continuous for 7b+

Nice, to clean this up!

Super cool, very sustained. Happy with my effort on this, got into a little bit of flow.

This thing is absolutely mega, stemming, steep wall, blocky juggy cracks, and bouldery face moves. A little everything.

Mega!

Very good!

Bloody ripper - yeah there is one wonky bolt. I found some of the bolts pretty dam hard to clip on the onsight but that could’ve just been my short ass. There is one in the middle that could definitely be moved down and R to make things more sensible but such good climbing.

Very good, but a little annoying as the crux was rather hard compared to the rest, or maybe that was just the sun in my face at the crux lol

Had to work hard in the sun for this. Very good though.

Hard

Great fun with a solid heart breaker finish!

Agree with the description, it’s nails if you’re short. Second crux, not so bad but the first one is trick, 2 ways to do it, L if your a shorty R if your tall or super strong lol

Fantastic climbing

Great fun - love that finish

Great route, you could easily climb around the crux on the L and there is chalk there also. Pretty dam hard for 7a+ the direct way - felt more 7b/7b+ that way.

Dam good!

Very good

Hard for the grade!

Burly, on from the word go, to the finish

Very cool route, hardest bit is finding the good holds in all the chalk. They are there.

Nails start

Mega arete

Great, gets progressively harder but possible to rest before the hard bit. Great fun.

Classic!

Mega, possibly conditions, but I found this harder than 7a. 1st 20m then it backs off and has beautiful finish on steep jugs.

Really cool technical climbing with good holds

Fiery for the grade.
