The 28-pitch route is marked by sections of extremely friable rock during the middle section, followed by difficulties up to 8b and a sustained finish with three 8a+ pitches back to back.
Good morning, this is a very high difficulty climbing with rotten rock and crumbly. A great masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the type of rock very crumbly, and very high technical difficulty (8b in scale French 5.13d scale USA) This climb is certainly among the most dangerous and difficult in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many congratulations to the two great climber !!!
Greetings to all.
Fortunately for the Poles the rock held and they then committed to the upper section above the portaledge, another 8 demanding pitches that include bouldery sequences, continuous endurance climbing in a horizontal crack, traversing, roofs, dihedrals, slabs and extremely loose rocks often with long runouts.
