Multipitch in Haute Savoie!

A few weeks ago me and Jonny went down to Les Vuardes to try a sportroute called "Papy fait de la résistance". Since we're both on pretty much the same level the plan was to try something that was going to be a real challenge for us both and so it was.. The pitches of the route went like this 4c, 6c+,6c,7b,7a,7a,7a+,7a+. When Jonny had to hang on the first 6c+ pitch we started to wonder what we had gotten ourselves into :). We didn't manage to free much of the route, but we were close on most of them. The climbing was world class and I would love to go back and try freeing the whole thing!
Freehanging abseils down to the start of the route tells about the steepnes of the route.
