Swiss ticklist
January 21, 2008, 11:33:40 am
The dobbinator, Hed Brown and myself are off to the land of cuckoo clocks and chocolate at the weekend  :great:

Any suggestions?

I'm sure this has been done before, but I know that quite a few people have been out recently so there might be some more beta.

monolith was really good. i didn't do it so it should be on your list for that reason, plus its got dirty crimps on. doctor med dent was fun, overgraded too. i'd avoid tomahawk. ( :furious:)
if you've not done it do vitruvian man, it feels good holding the swing.
send me a postcard.

Can't go wrong with the classics. La Boule, L'appel direct, Il Partner, and el nave va at Cresciano (do you see the stonelove theme?). If you're feeling adventurous, seek out Limited Edition in the Brione valley. It's the most incredible thing... video of it on Memento.

damn you all!!!!
agreed with foley except tomohawk is good, just follow the beta
There was a vid of crimping aurther doing monolith somewhere on t'interweb, worth watching because we watched when we got back from trying it and started kicking ourselves

la peche 7a/b so few holds over such a distance

sector 12
la rondella 7b+ arete that strength wont get you along
la boulette 7b

wouldn't bother going to chironico if you havn't been to cresciano as the climbing there is so much better. + inevitably your chironico ticks will be down graded ;)
