Done with jamming beta. Took a while to figure out the jams! Quite rough and painful...

Some very bad slopers! Done with a hand jam beta.

Great line!

Start on good crimp, shoulder move to go into the Crack, bring your feet high and layback to glory.

Brilliant!

SUPERB line! Found it a bit easier than Når 2-åringen sover... But maybe I just had more skin :)

Committing last move

Nice one!

Great rock and holds

My style

Very nice problem in a small and quiet area. 8a+/8b, but it's definitely my style... a good one to check out!

One of the last 7c's in Cuvier left...

Nice problem with strange moves... the way Paul originally climbed it feels desperate!

Really nice one! But very, very soft if you are at lest 1.80mt tall... and I bet most of the repeaters are ;-)

Great problem on slopers. Could not get my fat fingers in the pocket so I had to find my own way ;-) 8a+/8b Harder than Zarzaparilla for sure

Always wanted to do this... 8a+, as it's just easier than other 8b's in Albarracin. At least for me.

Finally... what a fight!

Great new problem by Giuliano! Found a new way matching the upper crimp... easier?

Not so dabby with the original left start!

Maybe easier than "That goes Left"...

Nice traverse on slopers...

E8 7a. Crimpy shouldery and pebbly... Quite scary on the final move, but way safer with the snow! Slightly harder than that the Promise. 7c boulder?

Jerry's special. This route is 8a boulder, and one of the best I've done in the world.

Fingery slab right of Messiah, snowballed!

Powerful, not the best out there... Work Hard is way harder!

The worst style ever... did not want to fall on the flash and squeezed on :-) 7b+?

Nice prow, really nice moves, quite soft as a 7c for grit!

One of the best boulders in the Peak! Could not believe to finally stick to those holds... so hard to get things done here!

technical wall on bad holds... better trust your feet. Great to be out on rock again!

Great White with scary direct top out... FA?

It's all about cassics! ;-)

Partenza sullo spigolo, uscita appena a sinistra di Mondo Bastardo, con gancio di punta.

Finally! Great line on pockets with hard shoulder move. Now the next one!

Sitstart, follow the arete and exit with finger crack, special line, fell in love with that! Please be careful...

cute slopey little ball...

Finally one which is harder for TALL people ;-)

More a different line than an eliminate, climbs great with pinches, jumps and compressions. 8b+?? Just Slightly harder than the normal version, which is probably 8a if you're tall enough.

Great climb, sadly in a cold and dump place during winter... worth a visit anyway! 8a/+ depending on your SIZE

not too sharp if you avoid the sharp crimp!

roof... not too technical.

Squeeze that thing ;-) Less beautiful but harder than "Delusion"

Great line, one of the best in Chironico for sure! Just definitely not on the 8b standard for me, as there are many 8a+'s I still struggle with ;-)

Unsuprisingly crimpy...

Great highball! 7c? who cares...

Can not be 8a+ if the stand is (solid) 7c and you can reach the big sloper with your feet on the basement... quite hard anyway! One of the best in 8 days of rain to me.

It's ok, simply not great...

Superb compression prow, hard one. A must try!

The name says everything... could be anything in between 7c and 8a+ I guess! Funny moves.

Big fight on this one, quite lucky to stick the last move today!

Nice looking tall arete. 7b+? AHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHHA.

Stand start in the crack, move to slopey edges and lock to the top. First ascent? Maybe 7b+.

Definitely a lowball, but water makes it nice. Not sure about grade, seems easier than other 8b's but you still have to fight at the end.

Harder than Nutsa, maybe this one from sit is 8a+ !

If Teagardenroof is 7c, this one is harder for sure...

Other roof, nice climbing, lots of hooks, nothing special. 7b/+

Cave climbing, but at least nice pinches/slopers

The sit adds 2 7a moves... worth doing?

Nice overhang, a good heel hook and all is done.

Nice crimpy ball, it's all on your heel. 7c+??

Nice surprise today, probably the best I did in Rocklands so far. Thanks everybody for cheering up

nice moves, 7b? Pince-mi Pince-moi is 7b+...

Start as the golden rail and finish up diagonally left using the big undercling and a drop knee to reach a good hold higher up. Just for fun. 7b+/7c?

Did it with a jump, cool move but way easier than Royksopp, and quite sandy rock

Long Roof, not the best.

Not the hardest dyno... but very, very committing !

nice and pumpy.

Two brutal shoulder moves.

I've managed to do a dyno, whooooo!!! ;-)

Nice glassy ball on crimps and slopers, also this feels easier with no sun on it! 2nd ascent?

Big holds on roof. If you reach them...

Feels completely different when there's no sun and you don't have to tape every single finger!

Nice roof climbing, hard not to dab on the release, but still not 7c.

harder if you can't fit your fat fingers into the tiny hole! ;-) And scary when you see it move...

Perfect smooth rock!

Not the hardest, but at least is quite committing!

One hard move on this nice little ball... 7c?

Crimpy traverse and one lock, on this nice big 'Tea Pot'. 8a much more appropriate.

Nice slopers, good start of the trip! 7c+

Un' altro blocco del Gandalf che penso sia un bell' 8a pieno... (almeno 1 grado e mezzo più duro di Antologia!)

Quite scary with the foot lock in the hole...

A contender with Amphitheater in Rocklands of the coolest pinch in the stellar universe. Sitstart seems hard!

1st ascent above pads. As brilliant as Renegade Master

Great line!

Glad I'm finishing with things left from last year... now just Superbloc remains!

Happy birthday ! Ground up.

My hardest climbing yet, the one that made me fail and despair so many times... will it also be so hard to other people? Don't know, maybe it's just not my style, but i liked it all.

Nice wall, big reach to slopers and crimps, quite morpho...

Hard to pinch and always in the sun...

Steep and powerful!

Great line with pockets, crimps and slopers on a big overhanging ball. 8a/8a+?

Link-up variation of 'L'ultimo dei Moicani'... last move gets quite harder! Still waiting for the PROJECT

Hard start move and body-tension in crack, quite sharp... 7c+/8a?

What a mantle ;-)

Probably my favourite in the forest.... and so in the world! ;-)M. Le Menestrel 1992. That is 8a+, not Shosholoza or Amphitheatre...

Great line, guess 7c+ is more appropriate. Good end of the day.

Big powerful line... and quite hard as 8a+, nice one Antoine!

Tricky mantle!

Really nice line, would be a proud one without the rock on the left... 7c+/8a

Bellissimo spigolo in compressione, morfologico e bastardo. 4 giorni in totale... forse è un po' piu duro di quello che pensavo all' inizio.

Looked like 6b but it has been a project for 4 years... crazy mantle on slopers.

Compression on pinches/slopers to join a pinch of herbes... 8a? I could not do 'A pinch of Herbes' ;-)

This little cave is definitely not the best thing around... whish I didn't split on the VICE! Maybe easier than Armed Response.

The crux is last move... how can a jug to jug low start add anything to the grade?

Brilliant arete climbing. Highball 7b is not 7c but still worth doing.

Climbs like a route, hard to link last move! Guess 8b appropriate, but definitely easier than derailed.

Perfect go just before the rain. Tried hard for days on this one, and last move was the crux for me. Hard to grade as it's in te sun all day. Maybe not 8b+ but harder than other 8b's I've done here, so...

It's much better than it looks on video! Perfect wall with a big reach to a poor hold. Not that hard but quite friction dependent.

Solid 7c+ or soft 8a... impossible to grade! Crazy move, inner tube from Clanwilliam's garage works well ;-)

This problem has one of the coolest pinch I've ever seen, definitely worth the hike there! Giving it 7c+ will not make it worse in any way...

really nice overhanging cracked ball... just don't see the point of giving it 7c+.

Low and crimpy with a rock behind.

Not the best boulder but at least good landscape from there... Hard to hold the swing with my feet!

The problem was to manage to bring my foot up!

Far better with a fairly intelligent beta ;-)

Really nice crimpy groove... far from 7c!

Not best looking rock shape but some of the best holds and movements so far! Softer than other 8b's I've tried here but maybe is just my style.

Roof, nothing special... definitely not 7c+ !

Sharp!

Probably 7c if it wasn't in the sun all day long... sharp as a shark!

As good as slapping a ball of glass ;-)

So nice to come up here to climb this beautiful line! The sitstart didn't feel much harder than the stand...

Did first time I hit startig move, which should be 7b+... awesome and quite committing anyway!

It's so fun you can't believe :-) Easy if you are tall.

Psyched to try it even if I were trashed... had to fight :-) Big one.

When you climb up the arete here you feel like you're in heaven.

Powerful line on pockets, nice but not the best around here.

The best line in the middle of this big bloc here!

Shitty start but nice boulder anyway, crimpy and brutal on smooth rock.

Very, very nice one, almost Font rock, with even a 'grat'!

How beautiful is it? Maybe found one with appropriate grade, but didn't use kneebar...

Nice looking crimpy wall.

Impressive arete, definitely one of the best so far! The sitstart felt harder and I want to come back.

Crazy! Scary jump to final jug... not too hard when you know the beta... but you have to know!

Wow! not too tall but a special one, guess 7c appropriate

Prow, compression, classic but not the best. Guess 7b+ from standing

Don't know, tried so many times... definitely harder than 'You drive me crazy' and 'Fotti la censura'!

Crazy start, not that hard when you know how!

Two crazy moves on a bad pocket and a tiny shoulder knob, intense but short... 8a+/8b? can't say yet.

Crimpy and powerful, classic!

hard start move, easier than 8a standard in Mello.

Happy to find a really good one in 'Pietra'!

Originally E8 6c, now highball 7c+... committing top out!

Put more effort than on The Ace, but maybe just tried too many times with rubbish weather...

**

**

the most slappy thing I've found in the Peak so far...

Maybe the best slab ever... as crazy as Johnny Dawes! (E8/7a, 8mt)

Nice but sharp and pretty green... brutal.

Amazing rounded prow, a gem.

A dream come true... to Jerry the legend.

True classic.

Amazing piece of gritstone, a pleasure.

nice one, loads of pads!

All seems to be ok till you have to mantle up...

Slapping a nice gritstone's prow. Logical sitstart, a classic.

the Perfect name for the perfect boulder, not sure about the grade but this one will remain with me for ever. Grazie a Miki, Graziano e tutti i pulitori...

Crazy Move on perfect sandstone slopers... Font is just 1700km far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loVY5szf6sQ

Siamo a Hueco o a Campomaggiore??

Direct start to Super Minkiatel (variant). Grade to be confirmed...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loVY5szf6sQ

finalmente uno duro per i lunghi! ;-O

Crazy climb... monkey's style! Don't think is possible to give a proper grade to that thing. 8b+ for the time it took me but maybe easier than the ones in Font.

Salta salta... finche non ti finiscono le dita!

7c+/8a, One of the best line in my life... the crux is the mantle! Calibba n.1

starting with right hand on crimp feels much more natural and logical... starting with right hand on undercling may be a bit harder but still not 8b I think... one of the best anyway!

Felt OK with cold... but ice in the final jug was quite scary!

Really nice wall with a really nice jump :-)

6 or 7 meters of overhanging sandstone dream, almost it's 10th anniversary... 8a/8a+. Grazie Mauro

Ok... strange rock, maybe a bit soft... Bella Luna way harder!

I monoditi da arcuare sono un tocco di classe...

Bel traversino su dei piatti veramente... piatti.

The sound of your hands slapping the rock is my favourite thing...

M.Le Menestrel 1995. THAT is 8a...

Stand start right of red n.6 with big pocket and arete, finish direct with high slopers right... 7c+ for tall? (Morpho)

sitstart between le Calice and Sol Invictus, exit directly with good undercling and a high hold on left arete. Morpho

Another jewel of Font, maybe a little bit soft for the grade but harder than other 8a's so... definitely to check out!

Ok, now just 2 moves more for the big... I'll come back but first there is a Forest to climb...

Yeah, super arete, cleaned the top with nuts and rope... ready to try La Force du Destin!

a bit morpho but classe.

really nice prow, hard to feel your feet today...

quite hard start for tall people... really nice line !

nice but nothing special...

sharp sharp, but nice.

the original 'big mother fucker', yeah!

Hard and reachy! A piece of a crimp broke and now it's even further... for tall skinny bastards! ;-) 8a+?

Easier now with better (and nearer) hill-hook, left some blood on it ;-)

Found a picture of 2001 climbing on it... 9 years?? Last time I also broke menisc and collateral here, now a cold windy day let me finally pass. Awesome bloc, think it deserves 8a+, and the sitstart adds a little too... Ailefroide, quelle classe!

traverse grade, 7b+ into surprise assis, probabbly easier after hold break ... 8a+?

amazing endurance problem, a classic.

A race against upcoming summer, the line is amazing, the top is a shit. Be honest, don't touch the rock on the right. The whole topout is THE PROJECT !

really nice prow

what a fight :-)

**

Fucking hard move... I know for someone it's easy but I never felt good on this one.

Think it could be a good 8b standard. Along with General one of the best in Switzerland! So happy.

dedicated to a man whose mind is always one step ahead... ;-)Maybe easier for tall people.Is it a firts ascent ???

really brutal one...

the sit is a shit... and adds almost nothing to this huge building here. Super!

Always wanted to do this one, one of the best in Chironico ! Felt not so hard but maybe is just my style.

Really nice one...

hard for me... fortunately god did save my today.

If you find it dry it's a superb one!

Last 7c+ of Cuvier? Hard this one!

Almost flash! ;-) Rather than a Duel it has been a world war.

Oh no!! (tombée a la sortie...)

Nice slopers...

Big move, big sloper.

Merci à Antoine...

***

cleaned the top from the snow... way too cold at the moment...

4 days. Harder than some 8bs but definitely easier than other 8b+s I've done... don't know. 'La Compression est la Base'!!!

Smooth perfect rock, my style of climbing... 8b? Why is High spirit so much harder for me???

Nice little crack...

***

**

La Placca!!! però con tutte e due le mani ;-)

Mi manca quel cavolo di primo movimento....

Summer has finally finished, otherwise I'd be still falling...

Really nice line, better keep your fingers cool..

Contorsionismo in grotta, peccato non si riesca a fare un topout sulla fessura...

**

Really nice roof, hard shoulder move!

hard first move, maybe easier for tall peole... 8a?

Great day after the first exam session. Big reach to a bad sloper... maybe 7c+ ??

Almost hit the crater behind me on the first jump to the top... almost.

Petites prises pour les arqueurs de trous...The ROOF is still a dream!

Broke part of crimp with foot in the exit on flash attempt... really sorry. Nice one but definitely soft... think font 7c.

Crimpy jump, slopey topout... I'll try the whole traverse next time...

Is that 'Thing' living??? Really special! Right mantle is harder and more interesting... but 7c+ still more appropriate.

Incredible move! I was lucky to find it dry from snow that day... 8a appropriate.

Really nice arete!! think in Bleau it would be 7c/+

... very nice rock! Seems to be a confirmed 8a but felt it really easy... don't know...

Miiinchia che bello ;-O)

nice topout....

Finally hit the crack!!

With hole for feet... need cooler temp to crimp the 'grat'!

all alone... happy to be survived. The best in Cuvier!!!

Nice 'hillhook jump'...

New skin is always better :-) Cool gift after exams...

nice hooking... 7b+ max. Hannibal Lechter is harder!

Nice feetwork :-)

Over 4 years of random usuccessful efforts and than today 1st try. What the F**k!????! Grown taller?

a lot easier than in august...

I've grown taller...

Great! expo and unique... ...finalmente! Sitstart right.

Physical with a little tricky dyno...

Per un pel du cul... grande aderenza, grande Ale.

still too hot for kheops...

Really tricky... think solid 8a. A quando Kheops???

the direct exit is just more obvious.

Nice one, big moves, really destroyed...

Pinch, slopers, end in slab... nice.

finally understood...

shoulder power...

Slopey...

jump...

nice dyno... ...nice rock.

squeeze the sloper!!

Very nice roof, finish direct without arete... hueco style!

Very Physical... Strange and hard to grade. Maybe 8a? Who cares... still beautiful!

masterpiece.

my poor shoulder...

Physical and pumpy... vey hot weather...

Just 7 or 8 moves... appropriate 7c+ bloc. 'La Coccinelle' harder. Anyway it's probably the best piece of rock I've ever seen!

just morpho... but very very nice!

few tries. 8b? Virata is much harder...

Nice crimpy wall, not my style... happy.

Ma quanto mi hai fatto penare gli anni passati??

The story has ended... and for Gabry too! ,-)

di classe e molto 'scenico'

5 years project... so strange, so happy! 8a+?8b? BHOOOOOO. La chiusura del cerchio.

slopey, sharp, round potato.

Brilliant! Tall and scary, not so hard though, proper v11.

jump!!!!!!! Beautiful classic.

Really happy, really sharp, lots of blood

really painful...

arrrgh, hope the regular sit is coming...

**

seems more v11 to me... nice traverse.

*

8c+++ ;-)

occhio alla spalla!!

4 giorni, strana aderenza...

un nome un programma.

magici buchetti

bella traversa su svasi

placca placca placca... 'Duel' della Basilicata.

**

long standing project... just 2 moves. definitely not my boulder. 8a+/8b

easier with hill-hook...

bellissima roccia, un po' morfo...

la 'Compression' è la base...

**

Most wonderful arete ever seen !!!

per festeggiare Gecko!

contorsionismo...

finally got sunny, dry and windy!

Piatti, piatti... a quando 'Duel'??

grattons...

hard jump.

8a/8a+. similar to Electroboogie but a little bit easier, morpho.

Supernova with left exit, crimp and slopers. Maybe easier for very tall people

2 strange moves into easy slab, the arete next...

**

Great campus move !

THE slopers... 8a+/8b

Ventooooooooooo...

Alto e meraviglioso...

**

Pumpy

seems not 8a+ to me, just use your hill.

piedi in bocca...

slopey slab

amazing, amazing jump.

dreamt since i was a child... :-)

slab, slab, slab.

bello svaso...

Meraviglioso...

nicely strange... a classic

really nice arete... bleau style.

**

W.O.W. 8a/8a+

uncertain sensatons till the top, as the original problem.

8a+/8b, needs friction...

don't think 8b+ with my method

hard for me

soft skin vs sharp crimp

maybe 8a, nice roof.

scary mantle, more 8a+ than 8b
