Grignotte

5.10b, Sport, 160 ft (48 m), 2 pitches,  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: Claude Idoux
International > Europe > Greece > Kalymnos > Belgian Chocolates > Dalle à Patouche

Description

Grignotte,  Madeleine and Marie-Laure all share the first pitch until the last bolts where they separate to their own independent anchors.

P1.  27m  Enjoy quality face climbing on pockets and crimps as you as you pull past a couple of bulges for the first 25 meters, before breaking left to a set of chains at a ledge.

P2.  20m  Continue straight up more great gray slab on bulletproof rock. Linking these two pitches together makes for an amazing experience that can only be out done by the views you will enjoy from the top of the wall.

Descend by either lowering off the top to the first set of chains and rethreading if your rope is long enough. The other common option is to descend with two standard repels as if coming down from a normal multi pitch adventure.

Location

Grignotte is located at the top of the approach trail on the left side of Belgian Chocolates. Hike up to the obvious of 200' tall shield of high-quality gray rock and look for the route name painted at the base of the climb.
