Ascents in Top Alani

Bloc avec mono

Soft

It might be the best climb I've tried here so far. It's been climbed and graded 7C in the 2023 guidebook. Bouldery crux at the bottom from the tufa, to the under, to crimps, to slopers, to side pull, to weird block. Another crux from mantle, to 2 finger pockets undercling, to credit cards on a slab, finishing the sequence on positive slopers. After that, keep it together because it's not done yet with sharp crimps and holds on the overhang section before the anchor. It has it all!

What a route. Best 7c around 👌

7b+ in new guidebook. Hard crux section with technical footwork and mono.

Had everything ready, then the essential foothold broke off on the sending go. Had to find a new beta. Not enough left in the tank for a send. Maybe still 7b, but definitely harder and more reachy now.

Super nice route, beautiful

Cool route, cruxy and a bit endurant. Comparing it to the 7b+ on the left and the 7a on the right, it feels significantly easier than 7b. Probably hard for onsighting but once you've figured out the crux it doesn't feel harder than 7a+.

Sinter + Platte + Überhang. Classic.

Wohooo. Mit der entscheidenden Plattenbeta und Willen an den Sintern geschafft. Geile Tour.

Awesome Tufa at the start. Technical slab after middle. Good resting points.

Messed it up just after the crux on the onsight go

Really nice route, could use a name

Went in expecting some overhanging tufa action, but ended up with a very balancy technical wall right in my face. The variation made for a great route though.

Super cool moves, pumpy on crimps, surely not the easiest 7b+ you can find.

enjoyable climb, feels safe the whole way up
