Getting high on Marihauna...

I've found an F8a project in Siurana. It's called Marihauna (you can guess what the English translation is!) and is a technical 30m route up a slightly overhanging face. This is my favourite style of climb and what I'm best at - I'll have to play to my strengths for the first F8a! There is no definite crux, but instead a lot of sustained climbing for about 15-20m. The climbing is generally long moves between small, but not terrible holds! I've had one go on it and and done all the moves. I got all moves quickly, except for a couple which took a few goes.

I'm feeling confident that it should go in 4-5 sessions, so we'll see... Planning to have a few redpoint attempts tomorrow.
