John & Co. 7c (Promesse nel Sole)

John & Co. 7c is the hardest route in Promesse nel Sole crag in Lecco. The route is 32 meters but very bouldery, with two main hard section: one at the super beginning, the first 3 spit, and consists in 10 very hard moves on small vertical crimps (alone could be 7A+ or V7 boulder problem). The second hard section is a 5 meters slab at the end, with almost no footholds and very difficult to understand, could be 7a sport route alone. Those two parts are linked by easy 20 meters about 6b.
Solving the first boulder problem is the main thing, but never underestimate the last slab, that could cost you the send. In my first and second go I checked all the moves, and at the third go I linked every move and sent it, with the ultimate thrill on the slab.
Grade seems ok, as my second 7c I think is similar to the first I did. Very nice route, only for brave hearts.
