Ascensões em Gran Boveda

“Which knee-pad do I need?” I ask after watching a smooth send. “Both” was not the answer I wanted since I only own one.

As I’m getting set up, I realize that I actually have none - I left it back in Aus.

Already sandbagging myself, I set off for the flash burn that, despite watching someone else, felt like an onsight.

I’m not sure what I enjoyed the most, but it was a marathon of not finding the holds, spoogy knee-bars, and pumping out.

In the end I punted going to the last bolt - not finding the mega-jug until I was cleaning the route.

This kind of stuff is the reason I came to Spain!

Es una increíble ruta, muy estética, muy dura y seguro con muchos empotres que yo no encontré

A grim foot slip post crux led to a shot send

Boulder to a endurance section with tufas and kneebars. Red point crux at the anchor!

2 tries in 1 session

Se va dejando hacer y arriba con un buen empotre de pie sale bien el paso. Muy buena

Crux concentrado de 3era a 4ta y luego pura resis y diversion 🤘

Sorpresita pa ir a las cadenas

Way too hard for me since I am not used to climb overhangs at all But in iso the moves where super nice but linking them was a fight Need to come back WAY stronger for a line like this. In the end super crimpy crux, which is quite mean after the wrestling all the way up.

If you want to learn how to place kneebars, this is your line! Kneebaring the first half up and then you enter pretty steep and super pumpy terrain. For me, who is not used to climb steep AND Tufas at all it was more like wrestling But we had so much fun in this line, and definetely learned a lot!

(w qd, 4 tries in 2 days + 1 try last year) A tufa classic in la gran boveda!
