Ascensioni in Puig de Garrafa da Anderl

Man, I got fat, weak, whatever

In sneakers

Nice varied route, the crux ist to leave the big overhanging holes low down. Thermal overload even in toprope after the sun came around, sooo hot and damp today.

Some pretty comitting moves before the anchor if you follow directly the bolts. Might be challenging for the short, but can be escaped to the right.

Route #2 of the year short & crimpy, not a present especially in the first half. The muddy holds before the anchor added some spice, too.

Good bye route in the evening sun.

Too hot, no motivation, time for some chilling around.

Nice & hard for the grade.

Somehow fought down the crux. Getting dark, no time for redpointing, made this one anyway already some years ago.

Finger crack jamming with a bad finger - not a good idea!

This time a very smooth go. Just for the start boulder a 6b is deserved imho, and the top arete is not obvious neither.

So painful!

In sneakers, put up the rope for Arvin. Really cool route for the grade.

Excellent good-bye climbing in the evening sun, the Mallorca week is already over :-( Looks harder than it actually is.

Tricky move left, and then I went too far left having a great fight up the crimps there.

Not bad, with a long move in the middle, hand-feet or streeeetch...

Put in the rope for Sandra trying it. Fun route, but last move is awful.

Quickdraw rescue mission for Laurent completed!

Once you have mastered the hard pull out of the overhanging crack, difficulties are mostly over.

The first metres are hard, then an astonishingly large number of jugs. Quite polished.

What a disaster, more a rest with toprope than a toprope with rest. Felt harder than 7a.

Cool down route in the evening sun. Quite hard start, then easy going. Nice one!

Repeat. Still excellent, but I have forgotten how to do the last (crux) move.

Yeah, finally I made it! Some tries on this beast during the last years. This time didn't felt too hard - I must have improved.

Leisure good-bye climbing in the sunset. We'll come back!

Repeat. Totally wet first half, still brilliant to climb.

Repeat.

Fucking tourist? YES. I'm a fucking tourist and sent this route! A nice one, btw.!

Repeat. Cool traverse holding a mono like the pros in the movies then power through the upper overhang.

My first 6c! Hard pulling over the top bulge.

Repeat. Such a nice route.

Brutal start followed by a delicate traverse.

Hard start

Pumpy moves on huge holds, tricky at the very end. Got a finger stuck when clipping the chain - panic!

First a delicate traverse right, then a powerful traverse left. Lucky 2nd attempt.

2nd go. Fingery and technical start, then easier but still not a present

crux is to get around the palm tree

quite similar to Cheers, but without palm tree

2nd go
