I discovered this concrete bridge close to my home in Ghent a few years ago and found out there were some nice climbable lines on it. Untill this day it is still unclear who created the lines, since they are obviously chipped. A few weeks ago I was able to climb this excellent 7b+'ish line. You can top out the route left of the big pillar, after doing about 20 moves. Estimated the grade around 7b+ FB or V8/9 (Note that the grade feels like a traverse grade because it has a lot of moves for a boulder, with the crux moves being a 7a/+ fb). It is also possible to do a high standing start on pads which would be a 7a+/b (starting with the holds I use at 0:38). The wall 30 meters on the left when facing the boulder has 2 lines. Left one 6b and right one 7a+ (length grades), suggested to climb toprope.
