Wild one arm swing lol Funny one !

Soft but really nice !

Moves are super cool ! Tensiony and burly. The only dowside is the small, sometimes dark, cave start

If you are powerful, like big jumps and no foot moves, this might be very easy ! Not my case though. But height do help for this first wild move (so quite soft for me as I guess). Anyway quite amazing gym style line !

Very good one but doing a lowball amongst the crazy highballs is not as satisfying ! maybe soft

Groud up all alone with only 2 pads, scary that way ! Hard mantle with super small crimp and then insanely good slab with very poor hands and barely enough for the feet. The feet cross and uncross is just so sick, felt amazing to get on top of this one ! Prob soft

Amazing line ! Felt quite soft but the windy conditions were perfect to hold the mini crimps. Plus, it’s kind of my style and I’m tall haha

Hard and weird

Extension. Such a nice one !

7c as other topos suggest ? Soft but very nice !

Quite a bad and weird one

Really cool for a traverse !

Just after flashing the logical line. Not too bad for an eliminate but the pebble crimp is not very friendly ! Soft

Sit. Banger compression !

Took a long time to find my beta and micro adjustments but went super fast when I found every details. Did a 180 feet first and 180 back. I guess it’s a bit soft for tall people with the last long move but the classic beta for the second move was really hard for me, felt like I was in such a tight box

Excellent roof moves, physical and cruxy first move but still have to keep it together after especially in order to stay fresh and lucid for the scary mantle ! Only 2 kind of sharp holds for the left hand but not crazy skin intensive and almost always in the shade :)

Really good one on comfy holds ! Physical start, tensiony crux and methodic mantle

Really really morpho haha

Perfect compression boulder !

Hard short cruxy one. First move to the left crimp/pinch, flag right foot, right crimp and finally left good hold. Kept the left heel for all these moves

What a location ! Nice moves for a traverse

What a location ! sadly rock is not the best. Beta for tall people is way nicer. You don't have to lock and pull on the shit super sharp hold after the undercling, just bump again higher. Soft

For a lowball it's amazing, super fun moves and not dabby !

Shouldery !

The right exit doesn’t change the grade. Soft b+ seems right anyway. Kinda weird to eliminate the right hold above the start…

Amazing climb ! Way harder than other classics 7c here and you need some margin for the very scary last moves !

Excellent climb ! Punted the very top by going left in the moss and slept on my buddy. So did it again without going dumb dumb in the topout… Prob soft with good beta

Funky and cool one !

Really nice climb ! Maybe soft

Amazing boulder and perfectly my style ! Spicy wet topout

One mover but very cool

Funny mantle

Low low start. Cruxy but amazing climb !

Soft when you find the right tall guy beta

Shit boulder. So many better lines to do here !

Amazing line ! Harder than it looks

Perfect moves on tiny tiny crimps with a big heel hook. Amazing boulder ! I guess it's exactly my style but it's probably soft, did it again 2 times for without ever falling.

Best line on this amazing boulder !

7a on bimano. Hard, felt harder than Diamant

Had a hard time finding the right position for the first moves. Twisting the heel and knee as much as possible was gamechanging for me. Soft

Super unconfortable moves and holds

The first move is harder than the begining of tutan but it doesn’t really change the grade I think (still soft c+). Anyway, very nice line but tutan is even better imo !

A traverse, but an obvious one and the moves are superb ! soft

Super cool compression ! Classic one

Super cool board crimp climb, perfect for rainy days ! Sick semi-dynamic crux move, holding the barn door with the tension on a tricky foot. Not easy with 200% humidity

The sit moves are not the best but excellent line with the quality stand !

Super nice compression !

Really enjoyed this one !

The first move is not the best but the rest is amazing ! Hard one

What a line !

Superb moves ! Holds are hard on the skin though

Beautiful line and moves ! Sharp if you miss the crimp but super satisfying when you get it well and hold the swing !

Started with the holds under the holes. Horrible holds ! Had to tape all over my fingers just to pull on them

Sit start. Amazing moves and holds !(just one sharp left hand crimp) Soft for if you have lobg arms I guess

Couldn't do the OG beta (which is nails). Still a super physical climb !

Amazing roof climb with hooks and tensiony moves !

Almost too pumpy for a pure boulderer haha

Very good one !

Super nice compression ! Soft

Court mais sympa. Pleins de méthodes donc chacun peut trouver son truc !

Burly and powerful ! Classic one

Quite complex to find the best beta with all the feet and to avoid any dab. But super nice hard one !

Fun one but not the best of Brione for sure

Very nice holds and moves ! soft

Super nice and unique sequence + proud tall line ! Classic 💎 A little bit easier than the 7C, hard B+ I guess

So many better 7C in Brione. Hard one

Super nice moves and holds but lowball line with a dabby start especially if you are tall. Could've flashed it but messed up quite a lot with the beta...

Left toe for the start makes more sense imo. The right heel is so weird to establish and might even be impossible if you are tall, couldn't even start like that. Anyway nice little soft one to end a sick session !

Banger one !

Fun little campus and mantle

Antistyle for me but nice hard one !

Fun one move dyno

Super comfy holds and cool sequence. Funky feet beta for the crux

Very nice holds and moves ! Soft

If the start wasn't in a hole it would be a kingline imo. Long with super nice holds and moves !

Damn this heel almost drove me Crazy. Had a hard Time finding the feet position !

The logical line is molen rouge but nice moves anyway

Super nice rock ! I didn't go right like the line suggest but went straight with a sick little dyno to the jug. Hard

Really lowball but super nice holds, tricky sequence and fun moves. Soft

Really lowball but super nice holds and fun moves

Messed up the flash... Dang dryfire

Hardest 7a I've done haha

Super ligne !

Low start. Cool moves but the holds are not as great.

Séquence de mouvement unique et vraiment cool !

Il manque de dalle comme celle-ci en valais. Bien sympa !

Felt way better on it than last season, even in worse conditions.Soft

Banger moves with big hooks ! Only downside is that you have to avoid the dab and it's not that easy when you are tall. Soft

soft

Sit. Banger compression ! Found a nice sequence for the first crux but it still felt hard and I didn't have much more in me for the final stand up in this heat.

Amazing climb ! Probably soft when it's not 25°C.

Hard to avoid the dab at the start but after it's super nice. Very powerful shoulder moves ! Harder than some 7b/c here.

Glassy perfect crimps👌

Hard and burly first move with the lowest underclings

All the stars in the world. Felt hard with the heat

Such a good crimp line. Soft

Really good one. Soft if you are tall I guess

hard

Almost flashed. Got numb finger and fell on the last move 😔

Super nice burly compression line !

So rare to have these kind of pinches in a roof !

Not so bad ! Would be so hard without all these nice hooks but it's a soft one with the right beta

Really cool weird shoulder tension move. I don’t know about the grade especially considering it’s all about one move… Closer to 7c+ than 8a+ I guess

Elimination traverse and painful crimps

The crux is really weird and not my style at all. Dynamic and powerful move from a T-REX compression with a high right foot. This one might be harder for tall people like me. Still a soft 8a+ I guess.

Funky start

Damn this is tricky... You really can't power through this one !

This big precision crux move is so hard to hit... But when you finally hit the slot, it's so satisfying !

Super nice shoulder moves ! Soft if you have long arms.

So pure 😍 Kind of weird sit start with the really high undercling but it ads some cool moves to the stand and makes it a bit harder and satisfying ! Soft 8a I guess.

So pure 😍 Maybe a bit soft

Found a really nice beta which makes it soft 7b imo. Maybe it's only better for tall people but probably not.

Petit 7b je suppose mais sympa je trouve 🤷

Niice line !

Really nice moves

Cool one. Technical, powerful and longish with a real topout ! Easier for tall folks like myself

3 méthodes bien différentes possibles dans le crux.

Hyper cool comme mouvements ! Seul défaut prises un peu tranchante mais ça va encore pour le sanetsch. Un peu soft

Tricky one. Really high left heel was key for me. Could keep it almost all the way (from the first move to the good crimp).

Plus dur que pincée de sucre pour moi mais moins beau.

One mover

J'ai dû bien chercher dans mon pokédex de méthode pour éviter le dynamique/no foot brutal. Trop nul dans ce style... Assez soft avec ma méthode

Vraiment cool comme ligne !

Premier move pas évident pour les grands !

Bonne grosse compression technique sur pinces plates. Rare style pour le valais mais hyper classe ! Convient bien quand on se remet d'une poulie blessée ou quand on a plus de peau.

Really good moves. It’s so painful to crimp that hard. Cut my finger so bad on It.

Sympa

Such a unique and proud line ! Goes smoothly when you place the toe hook well

Wow amazing tall line

Classe comme gestuelle !

Nice boulder ! I'm bad at jumping so I used a heel hook and it works really well if you are tall enough.

soft

Would be a banger line if the rock quality was better. But damn this rock hurts the skin. Technical and hard for me.

Weird start but the rest of the line is super nice

Had to trust this damn left foot. Felt hard

Tricky boulder with a weird start but a really cool middle/end

fun and original boulder. soft

Sortie comme une baleine 🐋

Sortie pas évidente

bloc court mais départ intéressant

Such a proud line with unique moves ! The end is not too hard but quite scary especially with only two small pads

Technique comme bloc. Trouvé une bonne méthode de grand pour le début

Mis un moment pour trouver ma méthode pour ce deuxième mouvement. Pas le bloc le plus cool à travailler mais sympa à grimper au final

Un plaisir à travailler et à enchainer cette ligne, du moins avec une genouillère - ce qui rend le crux plus agréable à travailler et certainement un peu plus facile (8a soft je pense). En tout cas, bien long (ce qui est cool) et même après le crux il y a moyen de tomber.

Stylé comme bloc. Premier mouvement bien tricky et difficile pour un 6c selon bimano ?! Plutôt 7a+ à mon avis

First 8a. Prob soft but went down quick so quite happy ! Dark hole and painful left hand crimp but nice moves. Take a powerful light ! This makes the process way more enjoyable.

Such a precarious but fun slab ! Perfect when you have no skin and no power left. Maybe soft but idk hard to grade this kind of boulder.

Just heel it ! Hard

Such a nice powerful line with a satisfying end ! Felt soft but I guess it's partly because I'm tall

Crimp test piece 👌💎 Hard 7b+ I guess

sit start. Aesthetic but weird to climb. The final crux section was precarious for me... I was scared of a foot slip and weird fall.

Perfect when it's raining. And damn this pinch ! Part of the sloper line was wet so it was quite hard/pumpy.

Superbe ligne ! Un peu soft

Pas évident, assez intéressant

Really really nice

First 7c+ :) Not the hardest I guess and a bit easier for tall people like myself. Did all the individual moves fast but doing all of these long and physical moves took way longer than expected.

Brutal first move and then really cool moves. Sadly no top out possible with all the moss, etc.

Heel-toe cam all the way. Cool longish one

Not so bad with good beta for the crux

Pas fou en effet. Soft

Petite technique salvatrice pour le croisé et ça passe

So nice to climb. Pumpy as fuck for a boulder ! Found a nice beta for the crux

Physical climb, really cool !

Sooo nice ! It was a fight to do it in one day

Si on suit la ligne bimano... Je crois que j'ai fait cette ligne 😅 En tout cas la cotation 7b+/c correspond je pense même si un peu morpho donc à mon avantage. Mis du temps pour trouver une méthode efficace pour le crux !

Pas mal mais soft

Comme dans les vidéos : https://youtu.be/e5DeR3QKLzY / https://youtu.be/eGfGnUr8U3w Trouvé une méthode intéressante pour le crux

Soft

Maybe soft 7b. Need some margin for this scary finish

Superbe ligne hormis les premières prises. Soft

Soft

Premier move pas évident et exigant ! Apparement côté 7b/+… Difficile de juger vu la chaleur en plein soleil et le fait que le bloc se joue sur un move

Sortie tout droit après le crux, beau mais ça fait peur. Un peu soft

Spécial comme bloc

Soft

sympa ! un peu soft surement grâce à ma taille

Interesting, so many foot options

Dang it almost flashed this beauty ! Soft but so nice

Really cool line with small hand holds which require a lot of precision ! There are so many foot beta with all these good/decent foot holds... I tried so many different things only to send it with a new and spontaneous beta on the send go. Hard 7c or 7c+ I don’t know... This boulder fits my style and it might be easier for taller climber like myself

Tellement esthétique mais bizarre et pas très cool à grimper hormis la fin. Le mouvement à l'aveugle pour aller chercher la réglette éloignée de l'arrête est pas agréable et même un peu frustrant quand on ne la trouve pas

Felt hard... The holds are so dusty ! Weird sit start and wide compression

Fully extended stand start. Really cool sloppy line ! It was hot but feels around 7a+... It’s for sure easier for tall people like me

2 moves pas évidents

Methodic and physical short roof. Felt hard because of the heat. 7a+ seems fair

Pumpy traverse. Quite hard to find a good beta but not so bad in the end

Weird lowball but found a funky beta for the start. Summer conditions made it hard with 25° and mosquitos everywhere...

Mal au dos à gainer pour pas prendre de porte !

Almost dry ! Bloc très cool hormis le tout début (surtout pour les grands) et la première prise de la sortie

Un peu soft

Assez hard. Plus dur que d’aller direct dans le croissant de lune pour moi

Franchement cool !

Les mouvements sont pas mal mais compliqué de pas dab surtout en étant grand ! Donc obligé d’enlever les pads à certains endroits et ça donne pas envie de zipper et/ou tomber... Sinon physique et méthodique mais peut-être un peu soft

Quite nice crimpy one

Cool compression ! Soft

Une séquence pas évidente mais pas très intéressant

Assez cool

Such a technical line. Climbs super well when you find the right beta ! Only downside is that you start in a dark hole... But with a projector/light the ambiance is better !

Such an obvious and proud line ! Quite technical and unique moves. The first move(s) are for sure easier for tall people but the next ones are probably easier for short people.

Nice line with big moves. Soft for tall people like myself but super happy to onsight it. Note to myself : Always look at the holds so you don't get pumped as hell searching where to go and almost mess up the easy top out

Superb line ! The top out is doable but unfortunately very scary especially with the moss so I didn't go for it. Soft for tall people (~1.9 m) when you find the right beta.

Original pour un bloc en extérieur. Fais penser à un très bon bloc technique et physique en salle. Hard

Tricky boulder with super slippery but nice holds ! Did a really cool cross move near the end. Soft

Such a technical and aesthetic line ! So fun to climb... This boulder deserves more repetitions ! It’s not really my style and I did it in one short session... So more like 7b+ for me

Sit start. Hard to lift your ass when you’re tall but still soft. The rock behind is annoying...

Thought I did it one year ago but I apparently I skipped the first move(s). These first moves are not the best but still one of the best line at this level in the region !

Had to strech a lot before lifting my ass. If you are tall like me you have to be flexible for this one. Soft for a one mover

Not the most aesthetic line but fun moves into an epic top out ! Happy and suprised to make this one in a short session at the end of 7 days of non stop climbing

Great problem ! Sadly the end was not clean so no top out... Soft

Aesthetic line for sure ! The final moves are really cool as well 👌

Funny start ! Gym climbing style. Soft

Big moves on quite good holds in a long roof. What else ? Was tired af so I'm surprised it's 7b+. It's a soft one I guess

Used the good hold parallel to the arete but not arete. Nice crimpy moves ! Soft 7a+ for tall people

incredible line 😍

Cool moves !

Epic dyno ! Easier when you are tall

Not the best line on this amazing boulder. Felt soft but I don't know if I did the right exit with the number of holds and possibilities...

Nice vertical slab ! Morpho and felt like 7a even though I'm tall...

Best traverse ever ? Beautiful !

Such a good problem ! So satisfying to cut loose for the jug and control the swing

Epic beta for the end. Though for 7a... Feels like a 7a+ for me

Soft with the right foot sequence at the beginning

Really cool line with skin friendly holds 👌

7a sans la rampe

Wow un sacré bloc franchement. 2, 3 prises un peu tranchantes mais une ligne majeure et logique avec des mouvements hyper cool et une sortie bien haute qui fait monter l’adrénaline ! Surement un peu plus facile pour les grands (comme moi), fais en une session et du coup soft à mon avis mais c’est aussi mon style donc dur à dire. Dans tous les cas ce bloc mérite plus de répétitions !

Really cool boulder. Soft

Même pas sûr d'être passé là où il faut... Ligne pas hyper logique

Sympa. Soft

Pas si mal pour un si petit bloc. Soft

Assez sympa de traverser sur la mini fissure. Soft

Départ bizarre. Soft

Vraiment cool l’enchainement depuis le départ assis !

sit start. Bien hard

Avec une fin de PQ en guise de genouillère 😂 Genou, contre-pointe, talon, mouvements délicats, techniques et physiques... Ça donne un problème super intéressant et vraiment cool !

Tape on the left fingers was key. Hard at least for me

Cool moves but the first holds aren’t the best for sure

Vu mon état le lendemain d’une session de 3 heures de bataille pour passer les yeux rouges... Etonné de le flash ! Du coup je pense plutôt 7a, du moins pour les grands !

Sacré ligne ! Ce bloc m’a vraiment demandé des efforts

Dommage que le move du départ assis soit aussi bizarre et dur mais ce départ accroupi en suivant la fissure est assez sympa

joli bloc à placement

7b+ on bimano... Felt like a soft 7a+ for me. Still so happy to flash it right at the end of a really good session

Almost my perfect style

⚠️ April 2021 : A friend told me the crux hold broke a couple of months after my ascent of the stand start. It’s super hard now apparently... ⚠️ February 2021 : Ironic name when you are a giant. Well not quite but I'm 1.9m. Talking about height, I think I used another beta than the casual one which makes the line easier I guess at least if you are tall and like crimps... So the stand is a quite soft 7c for me. Still so happy to make this beauty in one session !

Very nice line. Original grade is 7a+ I think... Soft but happy about the flash

prob one of the worst line

Sit start, follow the arete and finish on the last jug on the lip of the bouler. Really nice line with a technical and unique beta that makes the bouler quite a lot easier. Still felt like a hard 7a imo but i was tired so not sure

Not quite sure about the start. I did a sit start on the right side of the boulder maybe lower and further right than on the bimano picture 🤷‍♂️ Right hand on a small crimp low on the arete and left hand just under the good vertical hold. Anyway, a nice 7b imo !

Hard to avoid the dab on the second move... Easier for tall people so prob soft 7b+ if you are around 1.9m (like myself)

Amazing line with perfect holds ! Maybe a bit soft but can't get much better than this !

Wrestling on the weird top out ! Quite hard and physical

Interesting boulder ! Hard first move, then an original sequence and a slabby delicate move. Soft

Soft if you like mantle

Two powerful moves with quite poor feets. Soft

Bloc à friction bien plus facile quand il fait froid ! Plutôt 7b+ soft

Aïe mon dos... Un peu hard mais original et stylé

Crimp and pain tolerance test piece ! Maybe a bit soft but it's my style so I don't really know..

Beaux mouvements ! 6c+ sur bimano mais plutôt 7a dur et je suis pas le seul à le penser !

Premier mouvement assez difficile mais satisfaisant à tenir !

Beaux mouvements ! Dommage que ce soit un bloc à élimination en excluant toutes les bonnes prises sur le rail du haut... Plus facile pour les grands

Ce départ est bien plus cool que celui à gauche !

Pas ouf ce départ et la traversée ensuite... alors que la fin est bien plus sympa ! Soft.

Sortie qui fait peur... Surtout avec la mousse

Stand start. The first move is quite hard (at least for me and a friend)...

Demande un peu d'endurance pour un bloc. Hard

Nice big moves on crimps (my style) Easier if you're tall

Just one specific but not very interesting crux move

Easy but scary top out. Soft

bof

Plus facile de traverser vers la droite en étant grand !

Enchainé après le message de Jack Mckechnie concernant la rupture d'une prise. Je ne sais pas quelle prise a cassé et si cela a rendu la bloc plus facile... Dans tous les cas je pense plutôt que c'est un 7b+ soft

Superbe ligne sur arqués ! (sit start) Pas eu besoin de sauter pour prendre le bac avec ma taille donc soft pour les grands

Un placement à trouver pour rendre le crux plus facile

Assez technique

Technique et sortie un peu galère mais trop soft pour un 7a

Amazing boulder ! Probably 7a

Sympa ! soft

Scary slab top out especially when it's dark. Soft

Powerful ! Very nice line with big movements

Le crux est de faire 2 squats avec une jambe et puis l'autre pour terminer le bloc. Assez original pour le coup !

Horrible ce bloc quand on est grand...

Il faut bien viser le tridoigts... Soft

Heureusement qu'il y a des bons pieds pour tenir ce mono. Soft

Demande un peu d'endurance

Demande un peu d'endurance et une bonne épaule droite

Le crux est un gros mouvement à l'aveugle qui demande de la précision... Soft

En valorisant les pieds plutôt 7a bien soft
