Pete Whittaker Instagram – It’s not common you get splitters like this on limestone, often they don’t form right or have loads of face holds.
However ‘La Fuerza de la Gravedad’ put up by @citro_carlos_logrono_ was an exception to this and an absolute classic. Defintely worth the visit if you’re into crack and close by.
Got some beta from Mari, Talo and Tom then managed a flash. Originally given 8b , but i think with new beta through the crux it probably sits at the lower end of 8b.
I always think it’s diffcult to flash physically hard trad lines as when the difficulty increases, the danger can often follow, or the gear can be complicated (not all the time of course).
However crack climbing gives you a fantastic path into harder trad grades 8b/8b /8c/8c without increasing the spice factor, which is perfect for onsight and flash attempts…another reason why crack is so good!
Thanks to @talomartin for the shot, and for shooting some video, which will follow in a few weeks time…it gets pumpy at the end, say tuned 😅
