With the gained confidence, the second day saw an all-feminine ascent of Wild Planet on Roca dels Arcs, following a very appealing line in the center of the main wall, through some impressive orange overhangs and huge roofs. We were very satisfied and used each other´s strengths well to manage this route in a well organized and executed ascent - Olé to Silvia, Cathy and myelf :)! Below is the view in the middle of my aid lead of pitch 2, down on the happily belaying team:
A team was following us, this is the view on the impressive overhanging wall from the belay after pitch 3´s traverse:
And this is Silvia in a movie-like setting mastering the aid on pitch 3, hey, girls can climb!!!
The weather, the climb, the setting - everything was perfect, i can´t restrain from posting more pictures, this is the team following the dihedral of pitch 5:
And, finally, the way down, with the view on Paret de Zaratustra and the impressive shade of just-climbed Roca dels Arcs:
And here is the original topo with the new rebolting in 2008 of the aid sections (still hanging on a couple of alliens required on pitch 3). And - don´t take Vilanova´s 5+ gear run-outs lightly, even if girls can do it!
