Have you been on it? Nah, thought about it in the past, but I'm concerned that if I do have a properly look, it might set off a chain of events in which I suddenly find myself half way up it on the sharp end Fairly steady to the gear, maybe E5/E6. Then a very hard boulder problem, 7C/+?

Horrendous up to the gear, then a nice boulder problem.
Quote from: SA Chris on January 08, 2024, 10:52:41 amPartage! Thanks you. Just spent 20 mins trawling bleau.info trying to find it.I know it sounds a bit MAARGRET, but there was a vid a few hears back of El Mocho climbing a great looking arete at Font too. Pretty high (length of prob, not him).Misericorde 7C+?

I did a route, with a name a bit like that (25+ year memory), up that bit of rock. At the time I thought it got 7b/+ but it felt very stiff to me (I was probably on the route form of my life at this time, 1998 or so) Did various other big routes on the same trip from Triglav, Cham, Dollies and the only one which compared in line was Squirrels Ridge (Spigolo Scoiattoli) on the cima ovest but rock quality, climbing (and difficulty) were all way down.
The ending is great, who is the Brad Pitt esq fell runner? I recognise him somehow but can't put a name to the hair.
Arete cosqmiue, 8a
I'm keen for a look at some point Liam.
Or Scotland. The Essence would have to be a contender for one of the best lines in Europe. Both due to the aesthetics of the climbing itself and the location.
Don't know, I have had a hard enough time on the 6's!
A quarter of my trad suggestions were in Scotland, though sticking mostly to routes I've actually seen/tried/done. In the County, Transcendence/Purgatory prow does look impressive.Sticking with the trad: hard famous lines at Annot (Le Voyage), Cadarese (Tribe), Valle Orco (Greenspit)… is there anything for mortals?Likewise, Profile Wall – Firefox (E7)?
