Cresciano boulder locations
December 06, 2007, 01:50:57 pm
Just came back from an excelent week in the Tessin and had a few Q's regarding some problems at Cresciano.

Did a brilliant 7c+ in the boulder ruckle of Hanibal Lecter but have no idea of the name. An amazing Yosemite style feature pulling of slopey gastons into a higher crimp sidepull, couple of hard foot moves to a slopey top out. Someone suggested it might be Extreme Ironing but tis would be a tragic name for such a cool line.

So is this extreme Ironing and if not what is it.

And if not where are Extreme Ironing & The Jungle?

If you did this problem is indeed called Extreme ironing



The jungle is situated a little above and it look like this




Hope this helps

Looks like I did the problem off to the left of Mr lamprect on the chalky holds you can see. Still can't believe such a classic problem has a name.

In the guide Extreme Ironing is written up as a project and too be honest looked pretty crappy. I guess The Jungle must be on a boulder a little up the hill from this as we didn't see it.
