Ascents by Marc dM having Distinct route

Gear is present but not plentiful, and nothing below the roof (maybe a micronut). roof easyly bypassed to the right with gear ; and nice roof move... for the second.

Perfectly clean and solid rock all the way. good gear.

Excellent trady and technical. but goes straight through the baboon toilet, and has quite a few "glassy polished" sections. Would still do it again.

P1 scrambled from the left, p3&4 linked.

P2 stance has 1 seat to belay from, other party members are semi-hanging. P3 has a committing section with little gear (2 features to slings)

solid at the grade!

Little gear on second half of the first slab. Great exposure after traverse to the left, where a piton is most welcome. Plenty good gear in the book. The left ending is really easy, i wish i had gone right on the face... but felt better "cheating" ;-)

Lots of options

Interesting rope management exercise. Especially at 4 people & 3 ropes on the pinnacle.

Abbed at the tree after Pitch 1, last climb of theday and the rest was in the sun. Great slab pitch !

Assumed route taken by mistake with missplaced stance on large ledge before 6m right traverse. Will check again trying to do other routes around it ;-)

Pitch 1 needed to get there, pitch 4 needed to get out. But 2 & 3 are nice ! We scrambled down the ramp, hairy at times, could have rapped from trees, might even had been quicker.

1 low fall, 1 brique-size rock pulled out, heavy hangdog all the way. Need to work on my jam and stem skills!

pulling though the last 2m with a grunt

Really fun. Will try leading it next time

Second try did the job. Barely

Started from the ground, buttress and pitch 1 makes a good 55m. Superb climb!

Crux pitch was definitely the chimney for all 3 of us, maybe because of the style? I hated it and had to pull on a draw, but all the other pitches largely made up for it.

Super cool. Around pitch 4 à LOT of grass and sod clumps, pretty slippery and scary. Most used piece of pro : cams 1 to 3. very few nuts. Had to pull on a cam in pitch 14 as i tried to go straight up into choss instead of traversing left then up.

Built my stance on the wrong "obvious block" after turning around the corner : do yourself a favor and use the one 2m above with a piton

Did the alternative version, but the "good crack" was on the left face? Amazing anyways.

Super link Cabernet / Muscadel, third pitch has lots of loose stones though.

First pitch poor gear and glassy smooth section. Bring down the star rating by one. Pitch 2 is nicer, with a funky move around the nose. Pitch 3 really good!

First trad lead experience ! amazing !

Really fun end, turning the corner reveals so many cool features!

In rain, pulled up by leader ;-)
