El Bon Combat. Rullo-Diaz did the route two years ago but I think the video is new?

Enjoyed that. Proper dedication. For some reason he reminds me of Spanish Alex Honnold. Not sure why. The mannerisms, the hoody, the dirt bag existence, . . .

I don't think we've had this before? Carlo Traversi makes the 4th ascent of Magic Line in Feb of this. Nicely done, very low key and straightforward:

Really liked that as well.

(I think that people should brush off their ticks when they are done with the route though. But maybe it was someone else ticks... 🤷🏼‍♂️)

Among the most legendary seilschafts in the Pyrenees, two parties particularly stand out to me. The first is Rabado and Navarro on the southern side and the Ravier brothers on the northern side. Here is an old 51 min production on the latter from France 3. Understandably it focus on the routes they did north of the border. Cameos from the second Ravier generation and perhaps the greatest Pyreeneist of them all, Serge Casteran (on the screen shot).

To avoid having to find the top of the route and setting up a rap line to hang in on all the holds before the flash, voila:

forgive my ignorance of St Leger rock formations, but those two pockets at 7:13 look very artifical?

The mono does not look manufactured to me, the two-finger could be. Hard to tell.

Interesting to hear that Dave would give Echo wall E10 if he were to grade it now.

Given that it was a low snow year, it might actually be climbable now. Still doubt there will be wads lining up to give it a try though.

For all the talk of lexicon being over graded, that last move looks pretty tasty, above an unthinkable fall.

Kind of a shame Dave Mac didn’t test the fall onto his skyhook/wire on the head wall. Would be interesting to see if it held.

He must have felt like it would or had a fairly good chance of doing so to place them in such a strenny position.

The lexicon head wall looks like a tricky place to decide which option to go for;

not faff with gear in the hopes you don’t fall off but if you do you take an absolute monster that may be a ground fall.

Or faff about getting some higher gear that makes falling off more likely… this fall could be not so bad or it could still be an absolute monster/ground fall.

First option sounds a little better to me. But not much

I guess the option depends on your fitness level. If you are feeling strong enough to place it you would! Well I would!

Back around for XXXR at the end. Doesn’t seem to start in the right place. Unless he was just a bit slow starting the camera.

Interesting that he had pretty full on jelly legs at the end there! The move to the slot did not look solid at all and if you compare to his earlier working attempts at that move he's so much scrappier.

Yeah true, but for me i would have to be fairly certain it was going to stop me, otherwise it just makes the big fall much more likely. I guess the added benefit of maybe not pulling your belayer up as much is also a bonus. I imagine Dave know much more than me about this stuff, but still interesting

I would have loved a 7c version of that route. Exactly the same moves but every hold just that bit bigger/more positive.
