A popular island-classic. A steep crux on tufas, then another crux on smooth pockets.

A tough and steep boulder on small tufas above the initial, juggy stalactites.

A big move to get to the chain.

Two unusual cruxes and a hard clip make many climbers Tufa King Pumped to succeed.

Another classic of the sector. From the starting holds one long move to the top slots. Not necessarily easier for the tall ones.

Easyish climbing leads to a technical demanding crux and some power moves after, save some power for the end.

Tough boulder on slippery holds at the start. Another small crux to exit from the tufas. Being quite a popular route, footholds have become very polished.

A crux right at the start leads to sustained tufa climbing and a finish on good but spaced jugs.

A great tufa line with a tough corner and arête system. Brownish rock and smooth footholds.

A long and rather easy intro on big holds, a first thin crux to a rest, some traversing moves and several long reaches/ dynos. Most seem to agree on 7a+ morpho.

Beautiful line. An easier first half leads up to an open chimney with spaced but good pockets and a thin technical crux. Save some energy for the finish.

Some big pockets, still pumpy though and a tricky finale.

An impressive overhang at the top of the vertical pillar. Bouldery crux!

An endurance focused tufa route with a more adventurous feeling. A lot less popular than other routes here. Shares the start with the popular Trela and Punto Caramelo, then follows the middle line of bolts.

[70m rope ok if tied off.]

Pumpy overhang to crux at little roof.

A dynamic crux at the start leads to a balancy flowstone wall, a rest and finally the overhanging wall full of tufas. More bolt-lines than shown in the guidebook! At the rest/juggy ledge, follow the rightmost line of glue-in bolts.

Same start as 'Barbar', but instead of going left, keep going straight up

Classic - bouldery finish.

Upgraded 2015 after losing a hold in the crux.

Face on small but good holds leads to a reachy crux over the bulge. Easier upper part with good jugs.

A beautifully situated route.

Popular. Tough for the grade.

Branches off left out of the orange dihedral of Aeolia onto a thin flowstone wall that leads to a tufa forest. No real hard moves but it may feel like three 7a's in a row without much rest.

Originally graded 7a+, upgraded in the 2023 guidebook.

70m rope ok.

Continuously interesting climbing on picture-perfect Kaly-style rock. Good rests and a crux on tufa pipes.

Same start as 'Barbar', but instead going left, go slightly to the right at the beginning

#sitstart #topout

Consensus 7a/b.

A steep, bouldery intro, then a technical wall on sharp but pleasant rock. Two holds at the start are often wet.

apparently 8+ after a Hold broke.

Great climbing and low in the grade.

7a+/b german guidebook

to the left of the crack of La Nano (red n°6). Update : chipped hold in the end of 2006...

#trav from right to left

Extension to 'Carpe Diem'.

Use the first quickdraw as a hold.

Left of 'Lorünser Verschneidung'

Great line on big but spaced holds. Powerful and steep.

Balancy technical face moves on a dead vertical/ slightly overhanging boulder. #standstart #topout
