Veera Virta

Me like! Steep and kindly bolted 👍

Feels a lot easier when you know your beta...

2nd

felt like ARC training

2nd

2nd

Nice feet and core intensive climbing. Send on the first actual burn after checking the moves twice.

2nd go

Crux felt hard with this reach. Took forever to find the beta.

One session, couple of tries. Crimp!

2nd go. Never too hard.

Amazing, varied and spicy! First of the grade.

Not sure if I did exactly this variation, but not the left one either. Some direct version in between.

retro-flash. probably hanged on a top rope many years ago.

dementia-flash, might have top roped years ago

Third go. Felt heavy. Jam schoolig helped.

Happy to find steeper climbing with holds (in some sections)! First go on this one two weeks ago, now send first go of the day.

Very nice, varied climbing. Never too hard nor too long moves. 2nd go, after warmup on the route

Great route, little bit of everything!

2nd go

First 7a onsight!

warmup

bit of a one-move-wonder

Nice tufa cruising! In the dark...

Awesome movement!

2nd go

Pinching and a bit of stemming

warmup. topo mentions something about a short loose section, not sure where that was though... Nice and varied climbing on varied rock!

2nd go. Spent quite a while figuring out beta for the crux on the first go.

Retro-flash. Tried once very unsuccesfully three years ago, now on the first go. Excellent tufa mounting rest!

Pulling and stemming. Very nice! Was so close to falling on the last jugs...

Warmup. Felt first greasy, then sharp...

almost OS, needed some beta while struggling in the end... 7a in 2018 topo

7a in 2018 topo

OS as a warmup!

Dementia OS. Been hauled up on a toprope three years ago...

Warmup. 2nd part OS.

morp-ish in the middle part (at least if you're less than 160)

first real lead burn, after finding moves and sequences

2nd go (1st go warmup and draws up). Soft-ish, nice moves.

2nd go

more work in the crux for shorties...

Nice and technical

2nd go, felt hard (so lost with those potatoes and pockects...)

almost flash... messed around in the beginning, lowered off from the second bolt, flashed the rest on the 2nd go.

Retro-flash. Toproped 1,5 years ago with great difficulty, now send on the first go.

1st burn (after warmup /checking the moves)

2nd go. Not sure about the beta/line though.

Finally! First 7!

sitting rest in the middle, before the crux. 3rd

2nd go

Bit of a one move wonder

/onsight, most of the route hidden for the belayer.

2nd real go, first quickdraws up.

2nd go. pumped on the first, warmup, go.

2nd go, after warmup

2nd go.

2nd go. Crux felt harder than 6a, maybe because i'm so short...

Midsummer send!

2nd go

Finally...!

very inconsistent. mostly walking with few climbing moves

felt hard. some reachy moves

boulder start and crux in the middle

Bouldery start, nice airy finale!

warmup

Good holds from start to finish

2nd go

sustained and beautiful
