Seems more straightforward than V5(and the full route seems to get E1 6b). http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=32650 martin 2010-03-11T16:15+00:00 For me 5C http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=32472 martin 2010-03-11T16:11+00:00 Harder than Silly Arete http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=32471 Simon Caldwell 2010-03-11T12:05+00:00 The groove with 'PMP' on it is the start of Borchgrevinck - the original PMP starts further right (but due to the misidentification most people do the described version instead). http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=32518 Owen Wynne-Griffith 2010-03-11T11:38+00:00 My first trad lead! Have seconded a few times since and the top pitch is wonderfully exposed. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=12776 Richard 2010-03-10T20:03+00:00 A great overhanging jug haul and like so many others, I also loved the dong! I found the upper roof more difficult than the lower section. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=12768 Richard 2010-03-10T19:59+00:00 Bees were buzzing in March. Theyre in a hole left of the second bolt. Nice route but some moves are surely 5. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=12720 Richard 2010-03-10T19:57+00:00 Route was ok, not worthy of any stars though. Anchor placement is poor. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=17808 Ged Desforges 2010-03-10T10:52+00:00 Definitely not high in the grade or particularly bold, great gear where you need it. Superb route http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28400 J Noble 2010-03-08T18:13+00:00 This route has now lost a flake low down, it wont change the grade but it does make the start harder http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=20824 Manik 2010-03-08T15:35+00:00 Excellent route. > 30m though so use double ropes to abseil. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=20772 Manik 2010-03-08T15:31+00:00 Heavily pocketed in March 2010, lots of good hooks to pull on. Full of holes from previous screw placements though. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=20744 Manik 2010-03-08T15:28+00:00 Or use double ropes. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=19640 Pino 2010-03-07T22:55+00:00 Left, along or right of the bolts!? The guide says on the arete, but one cannot reach the bolts from tthe arete; not quite sure about this... http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=19639 Pino 2010-03-07T22:50+00:00 Nice route; 5, at least, though. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=19638 Pino 2010-03-07T22:49+00:00 Hard 5c. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=31931 brian sullivan 2010-03-06T12:16+00:00 I did not find the traverse thin. This is the onsight crux but once you know the trick its considerably easier, but then are they not all like that! Hint look at it carefully from ground level http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28076 Matt Lewis 2010-03-06T11:14+00:00 The lower-off on the first pitch is quite awkwardly positioned. I didn't see the second pitch. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=766 John Hutch 2010-03-05T18:50+00:00 I thought the final wall made it harder than Balcony Climb - or was it just that my hands were colder? http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28793 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:47+00:00 How can it be in the top 50? Drilled holes and a resin hold, a shame!!! http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28096 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:38+00:00 Yes, it's hard and bouldery, but with nice moves and I suppose you didn't like it because it's much harder than 7a! This one could be 7b and would be more appreciated. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28099 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:35+00:00 I agree with 6c. There's a new route right of this, about the same grade. Six lines for 10 meters wide, now it's hard to know what your are climbing, but don't worry, all are around 6c (and well... http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28038 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:31+00:00 Excellent technical face climb, with two different cruxes, the first one steeper and on fingers, second one on the feet. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28037 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:29+00:00 We found first part as hard as the second. 34m. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28030 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:28+00:00 From the ground the pitch is 35m if you go to the right belay (chain of the other 7a+) or 40m if you choose to move leftwards, but you need 18 quickdraws and will get serious drag... http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28379 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:24+00:00 Cathy is very short and found it 6b. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=28281 Etienne 2010-03-05T17:14+00:00 The new route right of this one is great, one of the bests in El Chorro: a long 7b with an airy finish. Even with an easy and loose start, I vote for the top 50. And it's the only one not polished on... http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=17059 Richard 2010-03-04T23:32+00:00 Nice route with a small section of flake and nice incut holds throughout. Well worthwhile. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=12608 Richard 2010-03-04T23:30+00:00 A nice route, a nice flake and solid holds throughout. 5+ for sure. http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=12619 Richard 2010-03-04T23:29+00:00 Good sustained climbing with all the right holds in the right places. Maybe 6a.
