攀登 of A Cravita

Second go. Arete into the sky! A big fight led me to the second last hard move on the onsight... bummer.

As soon as the spanish heat-wave ends,the sending time has come! On the last try of the day this overhangig arete-beast was conquered. The route itself is a endurance testpiece with steep and steeper parts, neither with hard cruxes nor with good rests. A little bit polished.

And done. Couldnt ever pull the throw off the bread loaf. This shot it felt fine and the top was no issue. Glad I dont rely on knee bars to rest.

Elephant ball warmup. Felt strong but slipped out of the bulge crack. Spoogey today.

Tickled the throw hold. Tired

Remembered beta. Got to the pinch for throw setup. Missed dyno. I love falling off these classic lines. Such good climbing.

Fell at same place, Refined beta with a heel for throw and leaving the ledge.

Messed the approach to the crux. Pulled crux easily and worked moves to top. Ready for RP

Messed crux approach again. Two moves before throw I had forgotten how to climb.

Warming up on route. Struggled getting over the bulge. Lowered once that was figured out.

#2go Super buena, no me la esperaba tan guapa! Triplete con Octavio y con Chris, que se hace con su primer 8a!! A MUERTEEEE!

The classic, very overhung arete of Rodellar. Power endurance that seemed unlikely at first. When I ticked though, I crushed it. I hereby announce my retirement from climbing. For a while. [6]

Fell after the dyno again. Sooo tired.

4th burn. Bloody pumped, and fell off the top after the dyno. Sigh! Very close...

First burn today fell just above kneebar, but figured out the top better.

Surprisingly good 2nd burn. Made it to the dyno (8th bolt). Then shagged for the top bit. That's where you'll fall. The top.

First burn. Jumped off the top. Why are the anchors all the way out there?
