| Josune Bereciartu’s short trip to Switzerland at the start of May resulted in a repeat of Fred Nicole’s 1994 “E la nave va”, an 8c traverse in the Lindental. 30 meters long, the traverse is composed of a crux at the start, followed by a long pumpy section, that then leads past long crimpy moves to the slopy finish. Josune felt it to be slightly harder than last year’s La Travesia de Balzola (8b+/8c), and added: “the grade is different from boulder grades, because boulders are very short and powerful, wheras traverses are like the routes without rope. If we translate “E la nave va” into route grades, it would be like a 9a.” Josune climbed various other boulder problems in the Lindental which “is very special. There are some access problems and we must respect the nature and the environment of Lindental with care, because if we don’t then one day it might be closed for climbing.” Let’s mark these words, please. |
