Ascents of Terre de Provence

Boulder in the beginning, good rest, another technical sequence, good rest, another boulder, top got joysticked through the whole route so I was able to flash it

Finally! 1st go.

Crux at bolt 7: better to place left foot on obvious foothold and the right foot onto the flattish part below bolt. Allows more stable flagging and getting to better right hand hold.

Finale: need to stretch far to the left, left foot builds pressure on vertical hold. Right hand goes in crack but better crimp thsn jam.

Messed up crux at 5th bolt. (Did not find left foothold after shufgling the feet)

Messed up crux at final bolt 😭

Unfortunately didn't manage to send yet. Crux at bolt 7 is rather hard and low percentage. Also completely forgot how to climb the top crux.

Nice route. Needed to check out all 4 cruxes first. First "crux" around 3rd bolt was just hard to read but not really difficult to dclimb in the end.

Crux around bolt 5 is harder and requires precise foot positioning (left foot goes left in the hole, so there is enough space to match the right foot!). Highest crimpy sidepull and pinch are crucial to continue left.

Getting from bolt 6 to bolt 8 is the hardest part in my opinion. I need to take the big pinch with my right hand, move left hand to flake on far left, right foot on the obvious foothold, left foot onto the flattish part below bolt 7, now the hard move, flagging the right foot, taking the two finger sidepull-crimp with right hand, stand up to reach the pinch with the left hand, shuffle feet then find the crimp top left of the slippery ledge.

Now the route gets a bit easier up until the final bolt. This can be clipped easily, but then traversing left then up is another hard crux. Its important to get the good sidepull further to the left. One solution that worked was jamming the left hand in the crack above...

Nice line with good rests

Heute im 2. Go abgeholt (insgesamt 4. Go) bei grenzwärtiger Hitze. Sehr schöne technische Route mit nicht zu unterschätzendem Finish...

Second try

Really nice one, not so steep, pretty technical. Pretty close to onsight, yet so far. Who would have thought, that the real crux is between the last clip and the anchor... Hopefully I can remember the sequence next time.
