great weekend, lots of new, steep, powerful problems.

Nice! I did a quality route one of the Ciavaze group. Can't remeber the name but it involves a long rightward trav at half height. It was very good.
 I remeber seeing a few big boulders near the road further up the pass beneath Sassolungo, but didn't know there was any established bouldering.

[Nibile]

i reckon you did micheluzzi.

its one of the best routes ive ever done, pure quality.
the bouldering is in città dei sassi, and even though i was a bit skeptical, i have to say its quite good. its fingery and powerful, no slopers, lots of deep lockoffs and some five stars problems.

[Bonjoy]

 Aye that was the one. A fine outing indeed!

Any snaps of the bouldering nibs?

i would like, my friends i would really like.

unfortunately, or luckily, its been one of those old skool weekends like:
- two lifetime friends, one that climbs again after two years injury stop;
- mountain setting------------> nobody around in the entire valley------------> no girls around;
- that quickly led to a serious serious pulling session, with no frills, and sometimes a serious need of a spotting.

its a shame cos i also sent.

...no girls around...serious pulling session...

 

[Nibile]

ok, ok, it was "pushing session"
 

[andy_e]

...serious pushing session .... and sometimes a serious need of a spotting.

its a shame cos i also sent.

Did you learn some naughty things whilst you were in the peak?

 

[Nibile]
