Noo Noo — 7/7+, Teletubbies 7/7+

The improbably smooth, vacuum-cleaner-shaped 'Noo Noo', a recurring character from the Teletubbies universe, presents a unique and surprisingly challenging climbing problem. Dubbed a grade 7/7+ (French grading system), the route tackles the machine's polished chrome-like exterior, requiring exceptional technique and finger strength. The crux involves a precarious traverse across Noo Noo's circular body, relying on micro-crimps and desperate smears. Success hinges on precise footwork and maintaining a strong core to combat the outward pull of the smooth, featureless surface. Climbers often report a feeling of profound absurdity and childhood nostalgia while attempting this bizarre and oddly compelling climb. A successful ascent is not just a physical feat, but also a testament to the climber's ability to overcome the inherent silliness of the situation and embrace the surreal experience.
