It is a direct start for pamplemousse. Face and slab 5.11. Crux is where the bolts are.
There is also a new station below the 5.12 pitch, and a new bolt on the 5.12.

Absolutely do not place a bolt. There is a reason the first bolt from club flex has it's hanger missing(i did not remove it). Most people find a bolt placed this close to an aesthetically beautiful line like flight offensive. The pin, which was a lost arrow was replaced i believe last year with a le...

The bolted line going through the roofs right of pamplemousse is 10+/11-.
I cleaned, and retroed Pamplemousse, added a new station, and direct start. It goes directly to the first pitch on hairpin, and is about 11c. So pamplemousse has 3 pitches, 11c,11a/b,12b.

There is a topo in the new route book at climb on. The first ascent was Trevor Macdonald, and Jim Martinello. The grades they gave it go at 10a,11c,10c,10c,10b. Great route. The best way to descend is to climb up and right up a few fixed lines to access astro ledge. Then do some cragging up there an...

I had heard that you epoxy'ed some stuff on presto and added a bolt, but as far as a closed project no. I removed one fixed nut, which yo...

new route

new route left of presto at nightmare rock.
Calm like a bomb 12b r. Excellent climbing, challenging protection. A 000 grey C3 is mandatory in the initial offset, it goes in vertically then is pulled down into position.
The line was cleaned a while ago, and someone has a pink rope fixed.
enjoy
