Extremely good route, but the 7c+ is almost as hard as the rest of it! Easy for 8a.

Brilliant climb. Took a bit longer than expected. If Crabita is 8a then this is bottom end 8a+.

Good moves but lots of sika!

First 8c, very happy with it. http://bendavison.wordpress.com/

Atypical of Rodellar. Not the best of starts, then a great compression sequence on a wide tufa and slopers. Mostly easy to the last couple clips then a hard finish on sloper/flat crimps. 2nd go. Not for dwarfs.

Really good for the grade. Good sequences and quite sustained. Lots of tricks.

Quite pumpy. Some short sections on crimps and a powerful finish.

Turned out to be a bit of an epic. Didn't think it would take that long to do, ended up taking quite a while. Sustained to a powerful steep crux with big moves, then a bit of power endurance through an okish rest till you finally get to a good rest on the tufas. Pretty easy after that. Very top end of grade.

Wanted to climb this since the moment I saw it. Kneebars up tufas. Really nice.

Nice and varied. Techy finish.

Low in the grade. 7c to a no hands, then a bit of pumpy climbing to a powerful dynamic finish.

3rd go, close on the 2nd. Very artificial. Bit of a power endurance boulder in the roof then easier climbing between great rests.

Great line, probably the line of the crag, and the climbing is almost as good. Easy start, powerful bulge, then bit of endurance to the top. Heartbreaker finish for me.

Pretty pumpy

Tricky finish

Good line but not the best rock quality, and the climbing is a bit repetitive. 7c feels about right.

One of the less popular routes at this sector I'm guessing due to the lack of chalk. A bit more bouldery than the others, and gets a bit close to vague a l'ame to be 3 stars. Good climbing though.

So sustained for a 7c, and not easy. Good onsight go, but got sequence wrong at the crux.

Had done the first bit which it shares with planete causse. Sustained.

First route at this sector, pumpy and sustained like most routes here. Very nice.

Not so good slab traverse to start, then intense first couple bolts, and pumpy climbing after with some smallish holds. Basically 2nd go, foot popped on the slab start on the actual 2nd go.

2nd go. Bit of power endurance to a good rest, then a bit more on some smaller holds. Low in the grade. Extension climbed a bit shit.

Amazing route. Lovely holds and nice moves the whole way. Just got to keep the pump at bay and milk the rests. 3rd go, close ish on 2nd.

The 7c+ is the hardest bit by far, just a bit pumpy afterwards but no hard moves.

Better than I thought it was going to be. A bit dirty at the top though, and a bit squeezed in.

Onsighted up to the last bolt.

Climbed this terribly as a warm up. Big mistake.

Learned a lot on my failed onsight attempt. Jug path, felt less than piss 2nd go.

Very close on 2nd go, stuck the crux move but foot popped. Not one of Tarns best.

Mostly pretty nice climbing on nice holds and good line. Not quite as good as everyone says though.

Bit of a shit route, only popular because its piss. Soft at 7c+, if that.

A couple bouldery sections, tricky first couple moves, then not too bad until the upper crux where there's just a couple tricky moves. Not hard enough to be 8b. Close on 2nd go, just missed the crimp.

One of those onsights which just go's very well. Climbed without hesitation and just went for it. Great line.

Foot slipped off on the onsight but wouldn't have been guaranteed. Very sustained.

Close on the onsight, then blew 2nd go as was totally nackard. Quite hard but very good.

2nd go. Fairly tricky start then steady to the top boulder. Badly bolted. Had to skip the last clip.

Terrible.

one hard move from an undercut to a decent crimp.

foot slipped off on the first go. Fucking polish.

2nd go, top end of the grade. Pretty sustained climbing on edges then tufa's to the first rest, then a few more sections on pretty good holds with some big moves. Potential heart-breaker finish but managed to find a sort-of-rest which I hadn't spotted first go.

Pretty easy till a boulder problem on edges.

Don't know why this is popular, its shit.

Been debating about the grade of this one for a while. Could be 7c+. Adds a little boulder problem on top of the 7c+ after a good rest, but harder to link than I thought it would be.

Hardest I have ever fought on an onsight I think. So nearly dropped it at the top. Run out.

Bit techy and not many feet at times, but nice rock.

7b+ route into 6cish boulder problem. Bit shit but was the only route dry I hadn't done.

Bit confusing at times.

Great line, but the climbing isn't fantastic.

Bit of a shit start then really nice climbing

Nice moves, would be so much better if it wasn't polished to fuck.

Quality climbing and holds. Technical and sustained. Did it again same day.

Also shit

Just barely hit the jug.

Became the training route in St Leger

First 8a flash, properly good fight.

Extension is less than shit.

Fell off with finishing jug in my hand on the os. What a punter.

First 8a of the trip. Took longer than it should have. Basic pulling on edges, power endurance.

Pretty easy till the top boulder problem which I managed to drop on the os.

2nd go. Short and fairly intense but almost all big holds.

Desperate traverse on flowstone and its not easy after that.

Brilliant line, but easier than it looks.

pretty basic edge pulling if a little barn doory. Felt piss when I did it.

Such nice rock and nice moves. Fairly quick ascent after plis en plats... Needs good connies

Absolutely nackard when I did this, but learned a lot in the process. Cool prow.

trashed my skin on this. Proper slap round the lip.

Good moves and positions, but shit line.

Nice line and holds. Bit sandy and worn now

All about the foothold down low, sweet.

Nice line and nice holds, but a bit of a traverse. Suits me well.

Pretty basic pulling, but nice first day in font before it started snowing.

Great line and great climbing, almost 2nd go.

Bit of a mental battle, very glad to have finished it off.

First rp this trip!

Brilliant route and first 8b!

Would be one of the best 7c+'s in Ceuse if it wasn't for the terrible start.

Gets 7C+ in the guide, but probably only 7C

Pretty darn hard at the grade, but once I did all the moves it came together pretty fast.

Great climb, hard first move.

in 20 mins or so.

Brilliant, technical, fingery, so good. took a lot of goes. really pleased.

In a few goes. conditions were perfect.

Nice start to the new year. Felt really hard at first, but came together quite easily.

harder now with the broken hold, but better.

First 7c+, very pleased to do this one.

Really good for a sit start eliminate!

in about an hour

Knee bar, of sorts!

good traverse, cool moves

thin.

Classic.

third go.

First 7b+, did the moves fast but was hard to link. Good problem!

All in the feet! but burly too. great problem.

Brilliant climb, very good moves.
