When I was standing under the wall, I could not accept to go home without trying it anyway. So I warmed up a bit on the hang-board and noticed that it didn't feel so bad. So I said to myself, just try it. Already in the lower easy part I realized that it was the right decision. Completely to my surprise, I was suddenly hanging on the slopers above the crux. Now I was really nervous. The last section is no longer very difficult but mentally demanding because you have to climb a wide runout on loose rock. With completely pumped forearms and the fear in the neck, I came also through this passage and could clip shortly before sunset the anchor. Quelle Voyage!

It actually started pretty bad, on the very first move of the route I slipped...I took this good crimp, went for the crack and actually slipped and almost fell. [2]

A particularly impressive ascent as Soline had not climbed harder than 8b+ on sport prior to climbing Le Voyage. [1]
