Locarno Work & Play 2023, play day one

We started the climbing at Ponte Brolla, as one does. 

The routes (grades from the 2011 Plaisir Sud):

1. Sunneblueme 5a
2. Noggeli 4c, g did it in his trail-running shoes
3. L’intifada 5b (This is awesome and fun, but is too long for a 60m rope. Creativity was required)
4. Zuchitt go home 5b
5. Orma 5c (A lead and then top rope)
6. Chili 5b (A lead and then top rope)

Day started with beautiful blue skies, then some clouds came in, but it was still warm and lovely. And full… my goodness were there a lot of people there, particularly people doing multipitches who didn’t really know what they were doing. Climbing is booming! :-)
