Today is Friday... Yes, we are among those who climb even during the week, maybe because we work at weekends, sometimes…
At 8:30 a.m. we are below the first pitch of the chosen route of the day. It’s hot already.
We pass the 6a+ still a little sleepy. It’s a single move, a little "cabron", but the rock is excellent! In no time we find ourselves below the 6c section of the second pitch with an oblique climb toward the right. It seems to me easier than 6c grade, but lets leave it like that...
After the A0 traverse, which does not inspire one to do it without holding on to the quickdrawers, we continue up the crack with fantastic holds constantly appearing through the vegetation.
The compact rock leads us to the exit ledge, but we decide to throw ourselves up the two new additional pitches, which we climbing in only one just over 30m. Yes, a grand 6c! (with some detritus).
Midday, Olé! We start the descent to the car with the intention of proceeding on to the second attempt of the Palvico Canyon but unfortunately there will also be a third! Too much water, brrrr..! |
Another beautiful morning rise at 7:00... Coffee, croissant and more, it’s already 8:00.
We make space to park pushing the car in front with the nose of our super Mercedes “Marco Polo” (it was just in the wrong place!).
In just more than half an hour we are at the start of the route. It’s hot even today, we cream up, it’s like summer! We climb rapidly up, up, and sometimes across. Surprised that first pitch is equipped with only 3 spits, maybe we are badly accustomed, ha, ha...! The route is this like this all the way: stretch far across when it’s easy, but don’t threat, the difficult moves are protected.
Good rock, superb face climbing. We enjoy one pitch after the other; it’s truly a 5 star route! We identify all the belays to use for a rapid abseiling down in the strong wind, perfect timing.
At 14:00 we at the car park cracking open a chilled beer ... mmm! Wonderful day, now back home thinking about the following adventure... |
