Liked it!

Hot and sweaty!

Hard to read, sustained, great climbing!

Siistiä! Ja uimapaikkakin on lähellä!

This one's starting to get mossy already, though it's still well climbable. Didn't bring my steel brush with me today.

Brilliant jug pulling with bouldery moves and some good rests.

Cool climbing, generously bolted and not polished 👌🏻

Sweet flowing climbing on pockets on vertical. Not polished at all! (Downgraded to 6c+ in the 2023 topo).

Awesome and committing! Required some work. Hard for the grade?

First go. Shares the first bolt with the 7b+ to the right that I had already tried so redpoint it is. Quite a specific sequence that might be harder to onsight without chalk.

Nice stemming

Slab school

The rock here has a lot of angles that look like potential holds, but without chalk it was quite hard to read at first. A nice tecnical route though!

Ansaitsee tähtensä

🤌

Leppoisa

Oikein hyvä

Yllättävän kiva!

Not many hard moves. Harder than Sobeteo Ajeno though.

2nd go, an unfortunate slip. A reachy 7a?

2nd go. Got scared. 😬 A nice route!

An awesome route!

A bit slippery but the pod was a nice twist

Nice powerful moves and good rests. Three stars despite the ground consisting of shit and the pigeon poop in some rest holes (part of the experience.)

Sweet! Some bad feet and quite polished, but great pumpy climbing with a couple of good rests. 1st go of second session this trip. Overall third session.

Cool

2nd go

First two bolts wtf

Fingery and powerful. Loved it.

Long and nice

Sharp and thin start, juggy after the shelf. 2nd go.

A nice one

Quite okay. Bolted by a tall person? :D

Herkkä!

Ilmava!

Oli kyllä itelle vaikee lukea ja tuntu aikaisempina vuosina vaikeammalta kuin Mad Max tai Iisipiisi. Nyt hyvillä kitkoilla ei ongelmaa.

Melko boulderikas. Ainakin saitti oli vaikea.

Awesome tufa stemming, good holds and some kneebar rests. What’s not to like?

Short an bouldery. Dialed the moves in top rope, then first redpoint.

Nice moves, good holds.

Balancy!

Hard to onsight in my opinion. 2nd go. Great positions and moves.

Not too slabby, not too overhanging with nice movement and just optimally balancy with decent pockets. Sustained, but with good enough rests. Good clipping positions and safe to fall. Awesome!

Exposed climbing on good holds, hugging the bulging arete. Brilliant!

Tough boulder, easier runout.

not great not terrible

Well polished but still a quality route with nice moves. Fun climbing to a heartbreaker last move. Basically two completely different routes with a good rest between. Took annoyingly 6 attempts to stick the crux.

Sustained, i guess this felt harder than the 6c to the right.

Well bolted, early crux and very easy after.

Very nice. Definitely enough bolts.

Did it in a single pitch via the nest. Proper squatting with all the drag. Next time more quickdraws, slings and the left variation. A fine adventurous experience with just barely enough gear and cool stemming, but only one star: rope drag + crow’s nest.

Solid and exposed

Standard one star for no holds breaking off.

Cool crack, visual route, tough and annoying crux.

One of the top 6b cracks in Finland?

Quite stiff for the grade, especially for the shorter. Hard to read without chalk.

Different style than the other routes in Las Encantadas. Has this trad adventure feeling. Cracks and slabs.

Edit: Grade before a boulder came off the wall.

Short and bouldery - just the way I like it. First day toproped a couple of times and was chased away by rain. Did it on the first go of second day, putting up draws.

Definitely not a 5+. An ok route for a 6a+ now that it has been rebolted.

Quite alright for an Encantadas 6a+.

Short, slippery, not fun.

No stars. 7th go or something to that effect. Hard to read with all the crozzle, chossy feet, bad pockets and dents. Adding to the confusion you can see chalk on only the wrong holds that don’t get any rain. A rarely climbed route.

Awesome! On the first try it felt much harder than 7b. On the second go my foot slipped in the crux just when I had got my index finger in the pocket, but still managed to keep it together. NB: there are three bolts in a row below the bulge. I took the one on the right, but doesn’t really matter which one you take.

Good holds all the way. Exposed. The bolts can feel a bit spaced.

Climbed the start of Valentines Day and switched to Bombay Sapphire at the start of the 6b pitch. On Bombay Sapphire I led only the last pitch so a bit questionable onsight 😁.

Have tried this before, did it second go this trip.

Retroflash. Apparently I haven’t climbed this clean earlier.

Second go

Fun and easy

I have given this a go some years ago. A very easy unnecessary start with bolt hangers removed to an easily accessible shelf, then some overhanging moves to an outrageous anchor clipping position (at least for the shorter). One star for the anchor clipping tufa.
