Good news from Soyhières for the community.
Never wait until things go worse! At the littel sector Us in Soyhières there are some of the more frequented routes in the Laufen-Valley inbetween Basel and Delèmont. Very nice climbs on a slightly overhang wall with edges and even jugs, mostly in the range from 6a up to 7a - with their equipment from the 80's last century they had to wait a long time for a rebolting. Sämi had the great idea to use two days with cold and bad weather two weeks ago to finally put hands on the power-drill. And I felt the need to support this achievement. Thanks Sämi for organising bolts and glue from the IG Klettern Basler Jura. And it was worth it! Some of the bolts (the infamous Longlife-Bolts) were lose and sticked out of the drilled hole...
The now rebolted ones are (with glued FFME-Bolts):
Humus 6b+ - not "expo" anymore!
Plexus 6c
Nexus 7a+ - one additional bolt
Sexus 7c - no more belay after the boulder problem. Now joines Nexus RH variation and goes all the way to the top.
Cinq-Plus 6a
Septième Sens 7a+
Already rebolted years ago have been Malus 6c+ (with glued bolts) and Bonus 7a+ (with Inox-Spits). Sämi in action...
Fresh wind also on the huge overhang of Devèrs.
I've bolted and climbed a new line of about 30 m homogenous endurance climbing at 7c+. Really rare in the Jura. It's called 'AOC Domaine Soyhières'.
It takes the same start as 'Public Domain' and most of it's crux. But before you reach the knee-bar-rest in 'Public..' you breach to the right over the little roof. From here follow the direct line all the way to the top, joining the last two bolts of 'Révélation', respectively 'Adrift' . It really feels like a little journey. Definitely worth to check out.
On the double-photo below the line is well visible along the rope. Julo in wonderful light on the routes crux.
