→ New V15 In Fionnay By Dave Graham∞

Posted October 22, 2013 at 7:59 am · Comments { 6 } ·

Dave Graham has succeeded in doing the FA of a long-time project of his in Fionnay, Switzerland that he’s calling Foundation’s Edge.

Swiss granite rock has always suited Graham as he has now done a number of his hardest FAs in the various Cantons of Switzerland, starting way back in 2005 when he did both From Dirt Grows The Flowers and The Story Of Two Worlds within a couple of months of each other.

    Gneiss, gneiss, gneiss. Big difference.

      From a climber’s perspective, how big of a difference is it? Sure, they’re different in composition; but from a non-scientific interaction with these two rocks, where do these “big differences” lie?

        Gneiss has holds. Granite is either a crack, or some combination of vague features and horrific crystals without feet.

          Huh…I guess I’ve been climbing granite so long that those “vague features” seem like half-decent holds ;-). Bring on the Gneiss!
