攀登 in 法国 by Thomas Weber having trad-cpr 或 ascent-date

Climbed with Lisa and rappelled down. The grading 6c seems to high. More difficult route finding than one would think.

First climb for season, much harder than expected. A streneous climb. Completed it with pulling on some gear . My old Piola topo described many pitches as 5+ and one 6a+, modern topo refer to these as 6a and 6c. Tend to agree with more recent gradings.

Super nice climb

Plan was to do Grutter on Pelerin but this was abandoned due to rock falls on approach. Did this climb instead. Lisa led all but first pitch.

Enjoying being in the same rope as Mr Holmgren again. Not as fast as we thought so cut it short to be sure to catch last teleferique down to Cham. Rappelled the climb line which was bad idea, rope got stuck. Great fun though.

Second try in a couple of days. With Lisa. Led all pitches and got up to around pitch 10 when it started to rain. We bailed, maybe a bit early because it ceased when we got down after rappelling. Rappelled to R of route.

A little error in the routefinding. And quite a long climb.

Climbed with Lisa and Mats in 6h. Rappel 1.5h. Mats did 6b slab of the belay.

Strong wind. Rappelled down route after climb

Rappel down route

After climbing route continued along the ridge to breche and descent via Papillons couloir
