COHELET

Ascending 'Cohelet' (7+, approximately French 7c/7c+ or UIAA IX-/IX) in Settore Centrale is an unforgettable experience, a true test of one's climbing prowess. The route immediately immerses you in the characteristic rock of the sector – often compact limestone, demanding precision, strength, and often, a good head for heights. The early pitches serve as a warm-up, though even these are engaging, setting the tone for what's to come. The real challenge typically unfolds mid-route, where the sustained difficulties of 7+ demand technical sequences, delicate slab sections interspersed with powerful overhanging moves, and often, small but positive crimps or demanding pockets. Route-finding can be subtle, adding to the mental game and the sense of adventure.

The exposure on 'Cohelet' is breathtaking. As you ascend, the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape expand, making every belay ledge a scenic viewpoint. The feeling of being high above the ground, with only the rock and your partner for company, is exhilarating. Reaching the final anchors after hours of intense climbing is a profound moment of satisfaction. It's a combination of physical exhaustion, mental relief, and immense pride in having overcome such a significant challenge. The descent, often by multiple abseils, allows for a final appreciation of the magnificent wall you've just conquered. 'Cohelet' isn't just a climb; it's an adventure that leaves a lasting impression.
