Ascents

12 recorded ascents.

Climb Grade Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Bimbaluna 9a+ Lead | worked 1st May 2005
Second ascent.

It hasn’t any repeats so this is first repeat. I was in Switzerland for a month and of all those days I could climb the route for only 10 days, with a media of 2/3 tries per day. [1]
