Climbing at THE bridge

Palmerston North has the infamous Manawatu Gorges, Fribourg has the famous Pérolles bridge...

In between the university and my work, there is a high bridge over the Sarine river, which is in a gorge in this section. Some climbers from Fribourg managed to get some money to set up some routes there, putting up some lines of resin holds, some of them reaching 3 pitches for 80m. Not too bad, hey? All that is excellent for an after work training, which most of the climbs being very sustained for their grade. The hardest ones finish at the top of the arches, being subsequently very overhanging...

Hopefully we will get strong with that...
