A1

Climbing A1 on the Right Side at a grade of 7+/8- is a memorable experience. The route likely involves sustained, technical face climbing with delicate footwork and precise hand placements. The difficulty suggests crimps, small pockets, and possibly sloping holds. The added 'A1' designation indicates that aid climbing is required, likely involving placing gear in cracks or using pre-placed bolts to overcome sections that are too difficult to free climb. This could mean using cams, nuts, or étriers to pull through challenging overhangs or traverse across blank sections of rock. The combination of free and aid climbing demands a versatile skillset, encompassing both strength and technical proficiency on the rock, as well as the ability to efficiently and safely place and use aid gear. Successfully climbing A1 on Right Side at this grade would be a testament to the climber's all-around ability and commitment.
