[Doylo]

Nice , is cool as...

[tim palmer]

I am headed out there at the end of the week too.
what are the quick drying problems/areas?
Or is there anything which will stay dry in the rain?

[Doylo]

Yes Alphane Moon 

[c.j.d.]

Grotte de Soupir, 7c+. Cresiano.  Amazing.  1st 8 in the area but came down a few years back.  Mega roof.  Stays dry.

LA Nave Va - 7c?  Not done it - frustrating yet amazing arête.

Loads!

hannibal lectar is decent dry 7b+/c, as is grotte des soupirs. when i say dry i mean the meat of the prorblem stays dry but the juggy easy tops may be wet.

[JJP]

 
Grotte de soupir at cresciano would get my vote as well. Good in wet conditions as most of the moves are sheltered and the problem looks amazing!

[scooby doo]

Not sure if its a classic but Bach Bloc at the river in Brione is a great problem. 7cish.

Cheers for all the suggestions chaps! Any more ideas? I hate to bite the hand that feeds me but aren't arete with pocket, grot de souspers (sp soz), sascoupe and the pillier a little bit poor? Again, fair enough, we all have differing tastes etc

[Richie Crouch]

Jungle book, cresc
bridge over troubled water at chir
Le vent nous portera, chir
Willenberg dach, chir
Midnight lightning of Ticino, chir
Confessions of a crap artist, chir

Just some I haven't already seen others mention already!

Is Limited Edition banned now? One of the best

I tend to think of everything as being good over there.

One of the best.....

[Banana finger]

Yeah limited is banned as far as i know. Went there once and tried to bribe the owner with a big box of chocolates. If i knew more german I would have offered myself for the eve. She still said no. Heartless or what.
Its such a shame it looks truly world class.

[leeroy]

according to 8a someone did limited a few days ago, if it is banned its ignored obviously (not condoning this..)

[a dense loner]

It's banned but fine if u can prove uve got an 8a account

[tim palmer]

as a post script to this discussion i just thought I would add Kirk Windstein to the list, I thought was amongst the best at cresciano.

[Doylo]

How was your trip Tim?

[tim palmer]

really good, so lucky with the weather, only lost three days to rain just when we needed a rest anyway.  Michele caminati was kind enough to give us the tour and encourage us up some problems.  James Blay got the points for the trip by doing his first two 8as on the last day, was a great effort.

Ah good thinking Dr Palmer.

Kirk TrouserStain truly is a classic line.....I may have to grow a pair...

It looks a bit scary but isn't too bad at all, the body position for the crux cross over is a bit commiting but you just land on a flat rock which is easily padded out.  I think you just need a good spot to make sure you don't land in the hole behind the flat rock.   The top is easy so don't worry about that.
