03.06.2021 After around 20 tries the route destroyed my left hand index finger. Will have to get revenge in the future. Personally the direct version felt at least 7A+. 28.09.2022 New highpoint up to the penultimate hold. Still feels hard even in good conditions... I suspect that the starting foothold used in beta videos has gotten slightly worse, I wasn't really able to use it. I used a 10 cm higher foothold that broke twice but still remained usable.

Too pumpy after Chifundo, probably also more difficult

I'm a bit annoyed I couldn't do this one but it was already dark and skin was bad.

Tried the first moves, stand start is easy up to the lip. Mantle seems very hard. Sit start also hard.

Did the first moves, top needs cleaning. Not harder than 6C+ probably.

Felt way harder than 6B, especially mid and upper sections. Around 6C-7A for me.

Figured out a beta that might work (with my beta around 6C-7A). Cool moves. Sit start is probably also possible.

Could not figure out an easy beta for the first move. Rest is easy.

The best boulder I have ever tried. Two sessions on it. Climbed the boulder in two parts but was not able to link it together in just two sessions.

11.09.2021: did the first few moves on, the middle and top parts are still unclear. 04.09.2022: Checked out the moves in the middle and top part. Definitely possible but probably harder than other routes on the boulder. Trying the boulder from the ground could be frustrating as the crux is at the top. 16.09.2023: Tried the start and middle again, could do some of the moves but not all. I had to tape first two fingers on both hands. It really need multiple sessions in a short time-frame as it is quite beta intensive.

Was able to establish for the jump but could not really move.

04.09.2022: cleaned the upper part today, there are 1/4 pad holds at the top so it is probably possible. Grade-wise might be around 7C-8B.

25.09.2022 Tried the moves in the lower part, felt possible but too hard for me currently. The crucial pinch in the middle part is really sharp and painful.

25.08.2023 Had a few tries, could start but not really get up high enough, would probably go in a few sessions.

24.08.2023 Session 1, could hold some positions statically.

26.08.2023 Got to the second quick draw first go but couldn't get up, would be easier in the cold. Climbed a bit above the 3rd quick draw to the top while trying Mari.

26.08.2023 Had a really good go after falling at the start a few times, fell just before the bolt of Ota Mut! Climbed from there to top after figuring out the beta without too much trouble.

28.06.2024: Found the first move to be almost impossible to reach, dyno is probably easier for me. Had a few good attempts on the slopers but was not able to do the move to the sidepull with those conditions (beta: use toe, not heel). 2 pads and/or a spotter would be good for the topout.
