Santa Anna - els Exploradors

 One of the main walls in Sta Anna, sector Exploradors on the far right.

After Santa Linya - another Santa, Santa Anna this time.  A new sector is always very interesting to visit, especially in good company. Although already rather hot, Santa Anna proved to be a good choice - a couple of warm-ups on the left, (especially Classic Climbing, 6b+ and el Rei del tonga, 6c+), very good 7as (especially Laia, Scotty, and a bit harder Trinity), and incredible 7c+/8a Esfinx, with a crux move of one-finger undercling to big jug.  7bs were strange though - both Livingstone and Fills de Buda resisted the efforts of many, and made some unhappy on our team.  Updated topo here and in Lleida guidebook.

Overall, a great week-end where all four of us redpointed the first pitch of Esfinx (flash for Marc, first 7c for Ville), and Ville and Victor finished the w-end also sending the Magnifica, another 7c that looked pretty good through the camera lens...:

Ville sending his second 7c of the week-end and of his life, Magnifica, way to go!!

Overall, a good relaxation for my body and mind before attacking again the project of this year, that has to be spelled in capital letters from now on, if ever to be done.  But whatever it takes - I am not giving up, i wish i were stronger - i wish i were different, but let's just keep at this one...
