攀登 in Vale de Poios

The rope clips are not the most easy ones, since you have to use a lot of holds which are not great.

The first 70% of the route is pure endurance climbing with little resting opportunities, as I climbed I reckoned the best would be to go fast and not waste too much energy finding the best holds.

After the hard part a plaform is reached where I could do an hands free rest, which was necessary to recover my energy and finish the route.

At the end of this route I was super pumped and had to rest for quite some time.

On my first try I managed to climb all the to the crux (that is close to the top) but took a fall. I took some more attempts at deciphering the crux, and in the end I found a beta that worked for me (locking the body facing right, and going static with the left hand to the crack) and managed to reach the top anchor.

At my second ground attempt I struggled a little bit more. Close to the start of the route I had a foot slip that caused me to fall. I resumed the climb but along the way to the crux I noticed I had possibly injured my finger, so when I tried to go past the crux and failed once, I decided to stop my session there.

Feeling confident that on my next session I can send the route with a couple attempts.
