New toy at Sublime Point 30-Dec-2010 At 2:31:42 PM f_ladou

Hi guys,

Just a couple of fun pictures taken yesterday on our outing to redo "The Sublime and the Beautiful" at Bentrovarto Wall. It really is a fun climb and can be done entirely in the shade as the sun hits that section of the wall around 13:00 these days. So three pitches (18, 22, 20), some challenging thin face climbing on the 2nd pitch and some real exposure on the 2nd and 3rd pitch. What are you guys waiting for? Cheers, François

Tip: finish the climb belaying from the tree three meters or so above the last double-ring bolt belay. That'll save you from a top-out on blood-curling iron-stone lace...

Dominik seconding the first pitch: starts in the corner and diagonally up.

Myself, resting on the arête on the second pitch after the crux a little lower on the face itself.
