Ascents in Costa Daurada by Vin Send

Dance like a snake the entire way up. Too perfect.

Short route on microfeet and crimps. Thanks Wim and Sabine.

Soft

Very nice delicate intro to the esoteric crimpy sector.

Speaking line. Deviant moves needed aaaall the way up. No crimps. Thanks Kiki.

There is no bread for so much chorizo. Monster compared to other 7a's here. Can I log it as an 8a? Did I do smth wrong? It starts with an elusive crimpy boulder. Higher up I stranded on the blank wall with shallow microscopic monoholds, and feet small enough to think you're floating. And when I finally managed to reach up.. just more nothingness again? So you crimp the holdless void crying out for jezus. Thanks Kiki.

Hard

Logical natural line following the vertical flat holds along the microfracture. Three times awkward but still straightforward Siurana climbing. Thanks Kiki.

Soft

35m smooth Siuranian climbing.. Felt like hours passed. I was in trance. Violent wind gusts wanted to sweep me off, some soft rain fell, but you don't want to let go of this beautiful route. Thanks Kiki. (tried it years ago)

Soft

Festival of bad holds that gets extra nasty near the end. Soapy. I'd prefer to have climbed more in Foraster.

Hard

Cool.

Bibendumy overhanging journey with a great crack and then topout. Burning in the sun I was heavy like an elephant. Thanks Hans.

Good!

A muerte pocketpulllingfest in three stages. Thanks Hans.

Loved it 3 bolts in and it only got better. Continuously funky on good holds. Thanks Hans.

Vertical museum of groovy semiholds that are spaced out. First try it felt impossible. I remembered one move and wished it was possible after maybe a handful of sessions? Third go i gave it all. First cruxy cut loose, then dropknee, Hansi beta, woopie, woopie, cross over way over head, ever far, sketchy, felt totally spent halfway, again far, quick feet, not really a one-move-wonder, more like a 100-move-wonder, then at the last lip I was shaking for the second time like a washing machine, Woutie talked some sense into me, the Colorado girl later said I was talking to my left arm, made it all look very hard. Thanks Hansibär for the belay! Thanks to the whole crew! 1d/3t

Blobby tufa. Topo says 6c. Thanks Hans.

Fun blue boulder in Font. Thanks Hans.

2nd Go

Sustained buildup to a far shallow mono/bido. Adjust the feet. Pop dynamic to a thing and then finish, delicately on something sloping. Big fight for me. Beauty that demands good finger warmth management. Thanks Hans.

Pocket fun. Thanks Hans.

Vertical

Sharp. Thanks Sam.

Soft

Boulder it out. Thanks Sam.

Fun! Thanks Ben.

Another nice one. Thanks Sam.

What a line, my oh my. The cross-over razorblades really are something. Thanks Sam. 4d

Aye caramba. Thanks Sam.

Woohoo. Thanks Sam.

Yieha! Thanks Hans.

Nice, long and technical. Thanks Sam.

Straightforward and good. Thanks Hans.

Soft

L1+L2. Amazing. Keeps on surprising. Thanks Ben.

Llet de Boja. Awkward endurance. Thanks Hans and Ben.

2nd Go

A long subtle gem with a few mystery parts. Thanks Ben.

Boom-tsjakka-boom. Thanks Kiki.

Soft

Supernatural beautiful line. Thanks Kiki.

Soft

Big moves. Thanks Kiki.
