攀登 in Can Baba

Crux between Bolt 4 and 5. ( in the Middle). Route is Great, but pumpy.

Looks much harder than 7b with very powerful moves. There is a bird nesting in the route in the final tufa. Not recommended to climb it now, we put some signs.

Hard crux for 6b+, where you need to trust your right foot friction. But not scary at all, the bolting is excellent.

Bolt to bolt starting at the crux. 6a-ish climbing to get to the V6/7 crux boulder then maybe 7b/c climbing to chains after. Unfortunately today’s thunderstorms left the holds quite manky and even with the solid kneebars it felt pretty hard. 3rd day on, pooped. But last climb of the trip…worth it!

Someone on 8a.nu said this route is only 7c if you’re tall. I’m 193 cm and that is a load of BS. The boulder is still really hard and being tall makes it difficult to set feet.

Some good luck with perfectly dry conditions gave me a 3rd-go send. This felt every bit of 7c until I put it all together with good condies and precision beta…then it felt 7b+. Maybe only 7b to the final bolt. Quite a bit easier than Nefs.

Don’t try this unless the wall is bone-dry with a breeze…or you’re just super strong and don’t care about slippery crux holds on wetter days.

My first go yesterday may have well of been a masterclass in misreading tufas: chuffing of absolutely epic proportions. Second go today was pretty low-effort with dialed beta…maybe even a tad soft for the grade.

Well that was lucky! 2nd go! Yee-haw 🤠

Made it to the end of the tufas before pumping off grabbing the wrong holds setting up for the ring lock move. Upper crux took some sooo many tries to figure out…the far left tufa is a sucker sequence, gotta trust the marbled slopers…

Still couldn’t make this feel 7a. I think I’m doing some crux moves out of sequence

I read the stemming section extremely poorly and made it quite difficult, but I think there’s a lot of easier beta to be had with some practice. Killer kneebar rest before the final moves in the overhang! Felt a good bit harder than Cesme. Even tried the left extension, wow is that a tough boulder problem

A buffet of different climbing styles…beautiful warmup! The top is quite pumpy if you read it wrong.

Too cold to send. 1-hang on the polished crux. The rest is ok.

Feels impossible to link. This might’ve been somewhat fun back when the crux holds or ANY of the the feet had a semblance of texture.

Somehow did all the moves but I’ll be climbing 8b before this actually goes. 3 individual moves were completely at my limit. More anti-style than anything I’ve tried in a while. No rests at all

A 6b climb with a 7a crux move. Holds are decent but the feet are utter shit. Almost blew off. Terrible warmup.

Hanging draws

Tricky, fingery first section and then awesome tufa wrestling to the top. 2nd go

1st end of day go, got about half way up and it was getting late. Awesome feature and climbing though.

Really cool climbing, with a low pocket crux and then sidepull and underclings for most of the rest. Almost managed the flash but not quite, 2nd go.

End of day burn, crux pinches weren't great on the sore wrists

Awesome sequences and good knee bars to rest, stoked to get this 2nd go as the sun was going down

Some really fun tufa moves in the crux of this one

Stoked, managed to do the crux today first go and then went to the top. Got a pretty big left hand flapper on the crux move though which made it tricky. Probably a bit soft but I'll take it, first 8a.
