La Rose et la Vampire.

It may be totally manufactured but 'La Rose' has gone down in history as a test piece or right of passage for any budding young sports climber. Located in the Mecca of sports climbing the south of France and at possibly the best crag in the World Buoux (well OK maybe not but it must be well up there). La Rose combines a mixture of powerful technical sections followed by ballistic crimp sequences, which is a challenge to most climbers and has yet not received a female ascent.
Jerry Moffatt enjoyed the route so much that he regularly performed laps on the route as training (oh if only!!). Some people who will remain nameless have recreated the route at their local wall so that they are route fit for an early Easter attempt. So study the route sequence and watch the video clips and you to may be one of the lucky climbers to redpoint this true classic.
