Ntinta Route – Slipped off trying to reverse back to the floor mid boulder problem! Fine after that, and really nice.
Adam Booth
Flying Steps Route – A bit thin at the bottom. Psyched I persevered! Great little route!
Medusa Route – Couldn’t get my foot over and established at the start. Worked it out and came down and then managed it clean!
Medousa Extension Route – Really cool flowstone / tufa wall but pretty steep and strenuous! The top was hardcore too. I don’t think this is one for me!
Skylisia Apodrasi Route – The bottom section climbed nicely but the top was nails!
Happy New Year Route – Another 6c flash for me today. Happy with my effort as again needed to push through! Not sure about all these rests the lads keep chit chatting about!
Sokolatina Route – Got really psyched out on this route. I think it was the lack of not being able to reverse moves that did it!
Ntinta Route – Really struggled to pull a sequence together on this. Just struggled throughout! I just didn’t seem to have the beans. Not sure what was going on. End of the trip fatigue??
Rocky
Trufa Extension Route – Amazing line of wild juggy funness. Hardest part was first getting up Troufa.
David Adams
Zeybreak Route – Fantastic route. One of the best.
awsomal
Skithropos Sector – Too sharp to be enjoyable and was at the top or beyond my power limit. All the moves were doable in isolation but couldn’t imagine redpointing it to be honest so bagged it.
Erase Route – Kalymnos style tufas. Fun.
Unconventional Affair Route – Had to resort to some desperate a cheval measures. Not very elegant of me.
Zeybreak Route – Worked it yesterday. Fell off the crux on my first RP today. Thought, hello, I could fall here forever. Made the necessary foot adjustment and redpointed it to my surprise on my next go. Awesome route.
Trufa Extension Route – Failed. Close but no cigar. One fall. On Al’s draws after he onsighted it. An outrageous outing to the top of the crag. From the sit down rest at the top of Trafa L1 it is about 7c. Some fragile rock so try not to pull too hard.
Piranha Route – Unbalanced, short and without a hanger on one of the bolts.
First Blood Route – 7a to the knee bar clip. Brilliant sequence from there to the chains. Only one session late in the day. All moves worked out.
Eduardo Martinez
Erase Route – Really hard thrutchy move to get established on the tufa, I back and footed, then grovelled, then mounted, then it’s a bit easier and more enjoyable
Sokolatina Route – It’s alright climbing, with a crux that blindsided me. Suddenly the blazing sun came out, I got lost, shoe fell off. Didn’t let go
HADA Route – Steady climbing to a thin technical crux moving right. 7b is fair, small feet and balancy moves left to good holds, it’s easier to the top.
Ntinta Route – Bouldery start and then a thin move over the roof. Don’t go direct initially, it loops out left to the good tufa. Nice finish, an easier
La Moya Route – Gave it a good go, that start is hard and got (wrongly?) to the big sloper that looks like it should be much better (one move to the juggy tufa on the left). In hindsight it’s probably better to stay low and left and use the fierce little undercut. The rest of route felt fine.
Trufa Route – A good onsight fight with a bouldery crux where it gets steep and another slightly easier bouldery crux just above it to the chains. Best route of the day
George_Surf
Erase Route – Tufa wrestling at its finest.
Medousa Extension Route – A great route and I had to work real hard for my onsight in the mega sweaty conditions. The ongoing theme of the trip!
Rankers
The Roof…Is On Fire Sector – 2nd go. One hard boulder problem followed by a juggy tour of the roof. Perfect for any boulders who mistakenly find themselves in Leonidio.
Erase Route – An awesome 3D adventure, one of the favourites so far.
Edd Mowbray
Trufa Route – Great bouldery route with a pumpy finale. Bit of a dubious tick as I fell holding the finishing jug when an old knee injury went twang. Taking it though!
Rob Kelly
Flying Steps Route – Really nice. Good warm, up although tricky crimpy start
Happy New Year Route – Dropped at the top before chains couldn’t decide left or right. Very tight squeeze at the top between lines
Trufa Route – Gorgeous line, pumpy finish after a boulder Crux
jackappleby
Medusa Ext. Route – Super fun extension. Got pretty pumped putting in the draws.
Piranha Route – Good climb. Unfortunately, clipping the anchor is the crux.
Troufa Route – Nice and flowy climbing on tufas without a real crux.
Ntinta Route – Hard start and some weird undercling moves in the middle. All in all a fun climb, maybe not the best warm-up.
Sokolatina Route – Easier climbing leads to a tricky crux near the top. A bit polished, but still a nice climb.
Happy new year Route – Nice warmup.
Walter Strbad
Ntinta Route – Very nice route. Crux is going over the bulge with small holds and footholds. Glory jugs/colonette to finish. Fun!
Sokolatina Route – Polished and tricky crux. Worst route done in Leonidio this trip?
Harald Swen
Piranha Route – Foothold broke before clipping the belay -> fall/no tick.
Ntinta Route – Very nice route. Crux is going over the bulge with small holds and footholds. Glory jugs/colonette to finish. Fun!
Sokolatina Route – Polished and tricky crux. Worst route done in Leonidio this trip?
HaeMeS
Flying Steps Route – More nice thin face climbing. Some sweet white flowstone features.
Gastone Duck Route – Complex tecnical face climbing. Got shut down by a tweaky move.
o_g
Flying Steps Route – Led up to the roof and had a bit of a wobbler trying to mantel onto it. Got it easily 1st go on TR.. need to not get scared unnecessarily.
Skylisia Apodrasi Route – Today I was incredibly tired and tried to lead this but had a bit of an emotional breakdown. Tried it on TR and felt even tireder than the first time. Got up to the steep bit. Fun climbing up to a steep ending made hard to read by chalk all over the place – would like to try it feeling fresh.
Happy New Year Route – 6c in the new guidebook but that’s probably a bit generous – felt 6b+. Went for the onsight putting the draws in and thought I had it until the last couple of moves- dropped it two moves from the chains missing a blind hold: heartbreaking. Found the top really cruxy and still not sure whether I was supposed to go right or left. Went left as the line seemed to go that way and ended up clipping the chains on the route next door as that’s where the holds led me… who knows. Got it 1st RP doing an awful job of mantelling into the mini cave- both legs cut loose scraping around all over the place: awful technique. Brilliant route though nice and technical on funny holds.
Widda
La Moya Route – Dogged it working both crux sections then lobbed popping for the reachy tufa exiting the first crux a couple of times and nailed it third go following a brief rest – Hard thin lower wall traversing left onto micro sidepull & undercut to smear up and pop for a high tufa, another less intense but tricky crux past the ledge into a good tufa finish. Absolute class and probably a low 7b+ …no holiday grades at Hada !
Trufa Route – Second go – Nice line with a pumpy approach to a tricky crux and some varied featured holds.
Mat Welsh
Medousa Extension Route – Spent two days working it. I think five climbs in total. For some reason this route got into my head but it is a lovely climb! A tufa broke off, and a foot hold which didn’t help and I found the fourth clip into extention very hard to clip. Let my head get in the way of climbing well, frustrating as this should have suited me! A nice long climb with a sustained technical hard section for the last third of the route. On the last climb made all the moves but a foot pop sent me flying and all psych was lost, for me it felt hard 7b+ but very satisfying moves and would be one I’d try again.
Happy New Year Route – Nice for a warm up, much better warm up than the 6c+ and 7a either side 🙂
Ntina Route – Took a few attempts to get the start moves done then to the top clean. Nice movement with some commitment needed over the bulge! Good climbing 🙂
Emilysaladfingers
Medousa Extension Route – 2nd go. Brilliant extension to the grotty first pitch. Difficulties until the very end.
HADA Route – 2nd go. Technical and quite tenuous crux. Good climbing but on some disconcerting holds.
Booz Route – 2nd go (1st try after dogging up to equip as a warm-up). Felt like a 6b+ split by a steady, albeit really good, boulder problem. That said, a winter training similar problems on my woodie might have influenced my view on its difficulty!
Ntina Route – Sections of tufa separated by some fierce crimps. Good.
Trufa Route – Sustained; no really hard moves but attrition lead to some desperate final moves. Very good, all on solid skin friendly holds.
thebigfriendlymoose
HADA Route – Steady start leading to crux section starting at about half height. Fingery and technical climbing.
Skylisia Apodrasi Route – Half decent route which slowly builds to crux at the top pulling over a bulge. The middle of three routes – all a bit squeezed in.
Keith Sharples
Troufa Route – End of day. Only just squeaked it out. Builds in difficulty the whole way.
Medousa Route – Constant mantles. Only worth doing to get to th extension.
Medousa Ext Route – Nearly megaclassic due to the amazing dripping candlewax tufa pipes. You only see this on a few, rare routes on this planet. As for the climbing, a bit glassy and slippery, and hard to read. I fought super hard, throwing out my back in the process. Worth it.
Brownie Route – Desperate slabbing.
Happy New Year Route – Pretty engaging and enjoyable except for the confusing/squeezed in top section.
Lee Cujes
Ntinta Route – Tufa climbing with some rests on beautiful red rock and nice holds. 7a+/b in the topo
Skylisia Apodrasi Route – Technical climbing on structured red rock.
