Snap Decision Trad climb E7 5

The route originally had a thin peg runner at the top of the groove, providing some protection for the crux reach around the overhang. By the early 2000s it was in a poor state and by 2008 it was gone, leaving ascentionists to run it out to top a long way above the single remaining peg (replaced around 2008).

Something for Nothing Sport route 8c 5
Soudain Seul Boulder problem 9A 5

A long standing project that saw a lot of attention before finally succumbing to Simon Lorenzi after 25 days of work.

It's an 'old' project which has been tried long before The Island was opened in 2008. The roof, called "Toit du Nid d'Aigle" by foresters, had been identified as a futuristic project by climbers in 1973 and its sitstart had been tried since the late 1990s. [1]

The name comes from the title of a book that first ascentionist Simon Lorenzi borrowed from his girlfriend to place under his kneepad. [2]
