Location: Restonica Valley, Corsica, France. Route: Acqua di Rocca / TD+ / 6b oblig 7a max / 200m  Martial Lacroix & Pierre Sanchou Aspect: North  Punta Spenicazzia is located @ ( 9° 5' 17.13" E, 42° 15' 15.81" N) Right out of the front door, other climbers are already busy sending super hard routes. This gecko is crushing the ultra-polished flower pot like it's going out of style. A combination of super slick slab climbing with the occasional micro-crimp this route is a test-piece for local crushers like this guy. Suggested grade, 15A+.  The summer sun rises over the isle of Elba.  At the base of the climb, the sun slowly warms the valley :) Boom! Morgane crushes the 3rd pitch! Morgane makes a short appearance out of the chimney . . .  Basta! At the top of the crux pitch (7a) - totally awesome climbing Morgane about to show me how I should have climbed the crux, she took one fall, I fe...

Location: Restonica Valley, Corsica, France Route: Monte Leonardu, Amandulina / TD / 6a oblig 6c max / 200m  Aspect: North GPS:  42.257813, 9.071665 Amandulina is a  super fun route to do. In my opinion the first pitches with the given grade of 6b+ and 6c, really only consists of one challenging move that is very doable - just don't forget to place your feet well and high and just go for it! For many, the first pitch(6b+) is the hardest one . . . indeed physical, fun bouldery moves :) The first time I climbed this route the 6c grade scared us so we did the first two pitches of Bella Ciao (6a+max)  as many do, gaining the ramp and then continuing the upper pitches of Amandulina. Don't be afraid of these two pitches at the beginning. They are really fun and will psyche you up to crush the rest of this fantastic climb :)  Ready, at your marks, go!  Woj climbs the 4th or 5th? pitch after the giant ledge/ramp  Woj - show...

Location: Gozzi (Afa, Corsica (France)) Route: Les Hurluberlus / AD+ / 4 Obligatoire / 150m Jean-Tou CASANOVA Aspect: South GPS:  41°59′05″N   8°47′47″E Les Hurluberlus is the easiest multipitch route on the Gozzi formation. This route was intended to be a "for pleasure" climb with its moderate grade and bottom to top bolting. Local legend Jean-Tou CASANOVA bolted this route so everyone, young and old, can have the joy of climbing a multipitch route at Gozzi. So it was with two friends, Luca and Fred (their first multipitch route ever!), that we decided to drive from Corte to Ajaccio and attempt this climb . . . c'est parti! Luca and Fred checking out what the day will offer! Count on 45min to 1hr for the approach  Fred checking out the view. This was a great experience to share with Fred who has roots in Ajaccio. I felt like he really got a lot out of this climb, high above the bay of Ajaccio, where he has spent so much of his life. Luca climbing...
