Ascents in Centre

A bit scary to the first bolt.

A few loose blocks in the lower part, high first bolt, but the upper part makes up for it.

First bolt a bit high.

Felt hard in the onsight and quite exhausting, but not a bad climb.

Climbed it on Christoph Rauch's protection

Another fantastic line that I had passed by before without noticing. A long, diagonal crack, perfect for some trad training. Perfect rock, nice hold shapes, good jams.

Really good. The difficulties are over a few meters above the single bolt, then it's just a leisurely stroll up to the anchor.

Kann sehr gut mit Schlingen abgesichert werden.

Nice to practise placing nuts and slings, abundant possibilities. And great rock quality.

Versuch 1 Toprope; 2ter Rotpunkt

Hooking the edges, especially on the left really helps

A real dream Route. I'd count it as trad in the corner and under this circumstance requires careful technical movement with steady nerves, as otherwise you will be punished

That is the experience I'm looking for!

I passed by this route a few times already, not noticing it at all, even though I had heard about it. Finally got around to trying it and I was not disappointed. Lots of small pockets to choose from, but only few of them are positive. Good rest after the second bolt, but then follows an uncompromising, sustained crux from the third to the fourth bolt. Got pumped up really hard and desperately tried to reach for the seemingly big pocket below the fourth bolt, but my reach was not enough. As a last resort, I put my right foot a bit higher and pulled dynamically into the pocket … just to realise that it was a damn sloper. Just like a few weeks ago with "Jonathan" at Bandstein, I was hanging there, bolt before my eyes; but this time, I needed to climb on because I felt my powers dwindling. Thankfully, only two horrifying moves later, I reached a set of pockets which was barely good enough to clip the bolt, just below my hips, and walk out onto the easy finishing slab, panting. Might be easier when you know all the holds, but 8- is probably still an understatement.

Groundergefahr vor dem zweiten Bohrhaken und tough...
