"Quand c'est dur c'est pas facile" 8a Secteur Canyon

[Tristoune]

Its a new route bolted by Joe Linck, for the "Natural Game 2008".
Really beautiful, nice roc, line and moves. You've got to use your stamina to rest between the bouldering sections and be lucid to reach the top ( because the slab of the end is not so easy).

First Bouldering section, dyno

The climber is Ivan, he did the route while I was shooting him, nice sunny day.

You can find the upload boffi's guidebook updated here . It's the web site of the climbing instructors (including Joe Link who did the update thanks to him) from the "gorge de la jonte". You can find all the updates of the area too (tarn jonte) here.

In the right of this route you've got one 7a+ really long (40m) and beautiful and a nice dülfer's crack in 7a .

Wow !
Thank You Tristoune also for this new "route report":
You are becoming the MASTER of "topo guide" (tg) groups !
Next time, if You prefer, You can write in Your own language, in tg groups dedicated to climbing areas in France.

And thanks to Joe for the free topos:
I have already opened the related discussions in Boffi and Tarn groups, linking them.
May You ask Joe for me how did he drawn the routes on photos ?
Which tool did he use ?
It's a very very good method to do online guidebooks, in my opinion.

Salue et bonne grimpe :-)
