Ascensiones en Sasso Gabriel

Guidebook says 4b but it is very steep for that grade.

Strange bolting. Far away from the holds.

Weird bolting, hard grade, chossy rock

strange line and definitely hard for 5b. The first bolts have to be climbed to the right of the line, otherwise it is maybe 6a+ or 6b! (the actual line of the bolts seems un-graded) Then a lot of choss scrambling and at the end a nice little overhang.

Steepest 5b I ever climbed, I guess…

This route does not feel like a 5b. It feels more like a 6a/b.

Rather 5b or 5c than 4 or 5a as in some guidebooks.

Crumbling and painful holds, loose rocks, and moves that feel more like 6b+

ungradable and heinous! the first few meters are fine. Then, after arriving at some excrutiating, strange pockets, there are no holds in the bolt line, to the left there are sharp, un-used holds and a very hard move, while to the right the key foothold may fall off at any moment.

Steepest 5a I ever climbed, I guess…

Unfortunately still a bit wet.

Great route. Unable to do crux on-sight.

This route does not feel like a 5a. It feels more like a 6a.

A rather strenuous 4a...

Overhanging, start to end, but nice holds. Maybe not 5a...?

Overhanging, but good jugs

Guidebook says 5c

Guidebook says 6a+

Hard 6a+! Maybe 6b

Guidebook says 5c

Guidebook says 6a+

Crux at the second/third bolt. After some strong moves it gets easier.

Very nice moves from hole to hole. Wished we had more time to try and free this one.

Nice crack/chimney. Felt difficulty for the grade.
