Hard crux after pulling some tufas. Slight kneebar with the right leg, then cross with the right hand into a very sharp crimp, then keep up the body tension and pull up with the left hand into a one- to two-finger pocket (I could only get my pinky and ring finger in), put the feet up and slap up with the left onto a sloper and then further to the right into a painful pocket (the deeper in the better). The rest is easier in beautiful white limestone.

Couple of working laps. This thing is short but the climbing is awesome! Very bouldery. Let down only by the second bolt being a little low, as for me, i need to climb past the 3rd to clip and that puts you dangerously close to the ground when you fall (as i found out). Coming back with heavier belayer so i can hopefully push past that fear.

Pretty close to an onsight but forgot a crucial intermediate at the top on the second and fell at the same point. Some sharp holds but the climbing is awesome. Pity about the shitty placed bolts at the second bolt and the last bolt before the runout to the anchor...both are potential biner snappers! Also the finish is pretty runout and hard, so you don't want to fall on that last one. A long sling from the anchor to protect yourselfwill help until someone fixes it one day....

Since this had already been led, I was able to attempt to clean the route. I was too tired to reach the first clip, bailing on MariCristina and trying the start for slightly easier Cristina, but after multiple attempts on MC I could start C either. MC is long, steep and flows if you learn the route. Optional rest out left before a final overhanging section. Nicolas gracefully cleaned for me doing MariCristina Direct barefoot 😂 the ultimate of humblings! A beautiful climb I’d love to return to some day.

An excellent overhang with optional knee bar for partial rest which I opted out of but regretted further up when I struggled to find the line and pumped out needing to take a rest before the final clip. This is such a fun climb I would have liked to repeat a few times but with just half a day at this crag I decided to go for variety over repetition. A must if you’re at this spot! Since we were done I cleaned the route essentially on top rope but still a heap of fun! Would like to return a little fitter, lighter and lead it a few times.
