Bereziartu climbs “E la nave va” 8c traverse

Josune Bereciartus short trip to Switzerland at the start of May resulted in a repeat of Fred Nicoles 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 years 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 dont then one day it might be closed for climbing. Lets mark these words, please. |
