Ascents in Stempfermühler Wand

2nd Go

Cool wall climbing with sharp pockets. Thin fingers are helpful, probably hard if you can't crimp the thin pocket! After the quasi-no-hands rest, it's much easier, but still smooth.

Not the best warmup, but the only one you get here. Hard from the start to the little ledge, then much easier jug hauling. #coldstart #warmup

Had to work out the boulder. Quite a lot of chalked "holds", but I used only a small subset in the end.

Interesting route with an easy start on the left arête followed by a 6 move boulder to the last bolt (I spanned to the good sidepull on the right at the beginning and then found a good heel hook on the left; mono pocket with the left hand, undercling with the right hand, crimp left, crimp right and up to the clipping jug) and a nice rockover move to reach the jug at the transition into easier terrain.

Pumpy overhang passage with sidepulls and underclings, I really went all in on this one, felt quite hard. Bumped up a few times almost desperately to reach the big undercling. Turns out it's not exactly a rest, so you still need to fight on to reach the next undercling … and the jug afterwards. The runout in the end is fine, though; just don't pull too hard on the fragile fin on top.
