Description
“Is it the Sun, Is it the Moon” is a striking single-pitch sport route of 40 m, among the most demanding in the Tower sector.
The line climbs vertical to slightly overhanging rock, with continuous sequences on small positive holds, requiring both finger strength and precise footwork.
Its main crux, at mid-height, is powerful and technical, demanding accuracy and tension.
The movement is flowing and sequential, the rock compact and solid, and the bolting excellent (7 bolts plus a lower-off ring).
The route offers aesthetic climbing, perfect friction, and a great sense of exposure — a modern testpiece for advanced sport climbers.
