Seemingly endless route! I saw myself drop off several times, glad I made it

#warmup

Thought I had the crux already behind me when I passed the tufa, but then I got totally thrown off in the sharp rock near the end. Couldn't find a good solution even after resting. Worth another try though!

Slightly overhanging, on mostly mediocre holds. Strenuous!

#warmup

Cool slab followed by powerful moves along a narrow tufa, with a crimpy finish.

Realized after this route that I'm not really in shape today and should probably just start the rest day early...

This route has been rebolted since the last time I climbed it. Certainly an improvement!

Technical slab in the beginning, gets hard at the very end, with an overhanging dihedral and a couple of traversing moves on tufas. Pretty straightforward once you know how.

A pleasure as always! #warmup

You'd expect the crux to be the bulge in the first half or the rooflet, but those are actually quite easy. It's the crimpy finish that gets you. Really great route, I just didn't want to overstrain my injured finger with a second go.

Was looking for a relaxed last climb on jugs, but this turned out to be surprisingly tricky. Cool moves!

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.

Could be longer...

This is the traverse going across the overhanging mid-section of the sector. Gets harder and harder towards the end, so I had to rest at one particularly reachy move.

Came to the overhang and discovered that an entire hold is covered by a swallow's nest and you basically cannot climb the route like this anymore :-(

Tried to step over too early, should have climbed on a bit

It was getting dark and I just put the draws in the first half for another go tomorrow

Still hard for the grade...

I was feeling a bit under the weather the whole day, so sending this was a welcome surprise. Great route with a lot of variation.

Finally I'm not sure what I did better than last time, but well... I might have had a harder time if I also had to put in the quick draws.

#warmup

Feels much harder than Little Big Wall. There are several really strenous sequences. In the steepest one, the good sidepull probably was solid once but now it's crumbling, making that move even more reachy. I expected the usual runout at the end but it suddenly gets overhanging again and I guess I really need to save some strength for that. It looks like a good hold broke off there entirely, too.

Oof. Now that's a 7b, I suppose. The dihedral is tricky but doable, and I got quite far in the roof. I couldn't figure out how to exit it though. I climbed back to the fixed draw (that probably just belongs to Poseidon) and cleaned it from there. I think I need some beta or at least an extension from the next bolt.

Yay! I didn't expect it to go so well after a single warmup route and having to put in the draws. It's certainly a soft 7b...
