Soft

enjoyable climb, feels safe the whole way up

I wish I had led it, very fun and soft for the grade

What a route. Best 7c around 👌

It might be the best climb I've tried here so far. It's been climbed and graded 7C in the 2023 guidebook. Bouldery crux at the bottom from the tufa, to the under, to crimps, to slopers, to side pull, to weird block. Another crux from mantle, to 2 finger pockets undercling, to credit cards on a slab, finishing the sequence on positive slopers. After that, keep it together because it's not done yet with sharp crimps and holds on the overhang section before the anchor. It has it all!

Hard jump with the right hand to a hold which is not so good (it's apparently also possible to static this move), and then it's again hard to get to the next hold with the left because of the not so good right hand hold. Sharp holds but easier climbing in the upper half. Would have needed more tries.

sau schön unten plattig oben leistig, kurz schwer, dann Henkel. Sehr soft for the grade. An der Schlüsselstelle habe ich die Leiste rechts die nach rechts oben gedreht ist nicht mitgenommen. Unbedingt mitnehmen!!

Enjoyable climb.

Cool route, cruxy and a bit endurant. Comparing it to the 7b+ on the left and the 7a on the right, it feels significantly easier than 7b. Probably hard for onsighting but once you've figured out the crux it doesn't feel harder than 7a+.

Super cool moves, pumpy on crimps, surely not the easiest 7b+ you can find.

7b+ in new guidebook. Hard crux section with technical footwork and mono.
