eMTB, Parc Del Garraf, March 5th

Lead Rope Solo Climbing, Castelldefels, Feb 12th

Today I had my first lead solo climbing session after reading up a on suitable equipment and techniques. I picked an easy route in a scenic crag above Castelldefels south of Barcelona. This also had twin bolts at the bottom of each route which made it easy to set up the bottom anchor. I used the GriGri as main device, the MicroTrax for rope management, and backup knots for extra safety. All in all it went well, I don't think I made any major misstakes. With some practice, this will open up a lot more crags for solo climbing.
