Difference between elpaso and fossillisation ? posted by stef ~ 23.04.2003 21:30

Don't undesrtand how can 2 route can be done on a so small boulder ?

difference posted by Jos ~ 24.04.2003 12:49

el paso is a straight up, fossilation is a traverse that crosses el paso

How can 2 routes crosses when ther is only 1m wide of rock ???? posted by stef ~ 24.04.2003 17:53

??? don't understand more ? I think fossilisation is the only route on this boulder ?

wrong boulder posted by Jos ~ 24.04.2003 18:27

i think you got the wrong block.
it's a big but low boulder.
on the right of el paso there are two more problems

don't think so jos... posted by stef ~ 24.04.2003 21:32

no mistake for the boulder, a 7a on the rigth with big sloper a top ( and crack 50 right) but on the left, i see only ONE passage (with very low satrt on big lefthand (maybe 7c+ or 8a) . But where is The second one ? if you go rigth from the bottom, it sould be 7a ? May be christian now the 2 boulder since he has opende the second one ?

I think fossilation starts 3m left of el paso and exits in the 7a+ at the right.

Christian wrote me:
The fossilation traverse goes from left to right.
Start on slopers, pass the arete, go down into the roof, traverse it to exit right.
