Ascents in Alicante

(w/o qd, L1+L2)

Nächstes Mal die Verlängerung!! (Heute ist die Sonne zu schnell rausgekommen)

Alles richtig gemacht! Oben kurz gezögert, letztendlich über links zur Kette - auch wenn es wackelig war..

RP bis zum 1. Umlenker, OS bis zum Top! Die vermutlich beste Tour im Sektor!

Wickedly bouldery first few bolts then a cruise.

(w/o qd) Great route!

Quite a tricky crux in the middle.

Great route!

Think I did the 7a+ variation - start right of the cave and finish up right.

MAGNIFICENT. Blobby flake/dihedral that goes on for 35m. Felt mean in the scorching sun, having to put in 17 draws. Once over, I felt like I ran a 15km comp with a sprint right before the finish. Probably took as long. Skyhigh wall in a sacred place, full of life.

Night onsight with no headlamp. From halfway up I was finding my way solely by the light of the moon. A bit of an adventurous epic, with some steep Arapilean bum-rock and slopers, and tricky arete, some steep crack climbing, a slab and finally an outrageous roof. Quite stance-friendly between moves, so plenty of time to contemplate the next sequence.

The hardest I've fought for any route this trip, and up there with one of my most titanic fights ever. Limestone grey slabs from the 80s are known to be terrible sandbags and getting on a 7a grey slab at a crag infamously known for its sandbags can only be a good idea, right. Utter bloody nails! Sustained fingernail edges, no feet, huge distances between "holds", and extremely wandery. I was shaking, whimpering, screaming and battling. I came down utterly destroyed, and totally elated.

Powerful to start but backs off a touch to the top. Nice.

Nice stemming up the corner.

Just brillant. Stop reading about it and start climbing it!

Interesting and thought provoking. Needs patience and a good set of eyes.

Found this very easy and straight forward. Rumour has it the 3rd bolt is hard to clip and a fall there may result in hitting the ledge.

The route name should be written on the rock but I couldn't find it. It looks to have been rebolted with the more obvisious line. Up powerfully through underclings to some small crimps. Hard for the grade.

Big moves between big holds. Very polished but still good.

Fantastic movement from start to finish. Pockets to a flake and a nails crimpy finale'. Muy bien!!

Good climbing on crimps and tufas. Tricky at the top.

Bailed on the 2nd pitch. Got a bit exciting.

Super.

Fully prepare for the last move, otherwise easy.

Grad sems to be correct.

A superb route. With enough creativity you can rest almost everywhere.
