Palpation
It's an obvious and foreboding line, an overhanging dihedral topped by a bouldery finish. At least the rock is solid. Jonas Wigren looking to stick the arête on Puls 7c+, Skevik, Stockholm, Sweden.

Café con leche
Café con leche is the line that catches your eye every evening as your walk out of the gorge on your way to Kalandraka for an after climb. It doesn't climb like it looks but it is as good as it looks, and in a slightly different style than many of the other steep routes at Rodellar. Another great route but bring a wrench, the bolt below the crux was loose. Shawn Boye sending Café con leche 7b, Café Solo, Rodellar, Spain.

Pequeño Pablo
Maybe not the best warmup, it's pumper than it looks, my forearms were burning for a good 5 minutes after clipping the chains but the fight was worth it. Shawn Boye sending Pequeño Pablo 7a+, Egocentrismo, Rodellar, Spain.

La más fea de Sevillia
It can be an idea to take into account the name of the climb, however, the rare sight of a slab sent Linda's reason running like water down a canyon. Fortunately, in the end, after a turbulent battle she did emerge victorious.
