Ascents in Val Pennavaire as Onsight by Lee Cujes

Birds nest halfway at certain points in the year, but not in October.

Nice sequences.

It's just okay. Interesting top half.

It's looking like the grading here is two grades below the rest of Europe. That is, on par with sandbag Australia Two bouldery sections.

Tricky move down low. Amazing rock in the upper half.

The warm up eh? Nearly finished me.

Guess who's back?

Raining

Some good pulls on good edges

Geared this up for Sam, then promptly stripped it.

Oddly powerful.

Best route of this grade I've done in the valley.

Maybe you'll enjoy it. Not I.

First day, so everything felt hard. This one felt desperate!

Very good. Well worth doing, but not an easy romp.

Cool. Very close bolts, nice for this level.

Maybe the best looking route I've seen in Val Pennavaire. Fairly blowing chunks on the onsight, lucky to come away with it.

Pretty cool - some interesting gneiss-like rock on this section.

Mostly in the eye of the beholder.

Not the best.

Far better than it looks. Super good with mostly big holds and interesting sequences. A good one if you're looking for a 7a project that is actually close to 7a.

Mostly good holds and consistent.

Whoa Nelly! This was brutal. Brick pumped with weird crux on quarter pad edges. 7a? lol! Onsight limit!

Trixy middle section.

Wandery, adventurous and excellent.

Two ways at the top and hard to clip bolt in the middle. Which way will you choose?

Yeesh. What a start!

Punchy top section.

Nice shorter one to warm up on.

The crag of sidepulls! Such a crazy wall.
