New Project - Vianant, Vermeil de Montserrat

I finally forced myself to get on the sharp end, and start leading the Vianant, my project at Vermeil de Montserrat.  And there was even a photographer around, immortalizing the day! :)  Starting up the hard 7a+ slab:



Traversing to the dynamic move, first crux:


Sticking the dyno on lead:


Going through the second crux:


Unfortunately I fell after the next move.  Now i only have to redpoint through the whole sequence and get to the chains.  I surprised myself with a pretty good first lead, after several top ropes and persisting nightmares about leading this monster.  Photos by Juanjo, thanks to Pau and Juanjo for encouragement, patience, and belays!!!

Yes, it is very good and worth it, dynamic, total Montserrat-style fun with some run-out easier terrain on top. Recommendable!!

Some trainings lead to better results...?

Keep on pushing, it's just a long-short way o the glory...

btw. You'd better show the pics fully rotated uspside down...or not...the second one shows a strange point of view!
