Rodellar


We spent the last week in Spain grappling tufas in Rodellar. Needless to say this place was just as amazing as the other areas. The pumpy type of climbing on long routes felt significantly harder to me than the climbing in Margalef and once again I got reminded that this is my week point and something I need work on. However I still managed to do Nanuk (7c) second go and my first 7b+ onsight.
During the six days we spent there I felt that I started to get the Idea of tufa climbing but unfortunately I got sick the last two days and had to realize that the trip was coming to an end.

My tick list for this trip ended up being beyond my expectations

The big hold is not a good rest hold :)
