Ascents in Germany as various tick types by Tobias Auth

TR "send" 2nd go.

Interesting and challenging on edges and blocky slopers. Not too hard as long as the bodyposition is right. Maybe even 3 star worthy.

Awkward, shallow chimney then alpine touch headwall. Why not.

A pleasant first pitch. The short, second one not so obvious, partly awkward. Supposedly harder than the route to the right.

Interesting, rather exposed top part.

Wow, adventurous and definitely a proud onsight for me! I expected more than 6b but this was quite hard! I was happy I could manage the bouldery start right away – one finger was a little numb after one pointy pocket. The juggy blocks above the boulder look rather chossy and the moves from the no hands ledge further up are tough because of polished footholds. The victory jug before the route eases off, is a small herb garden and I almost slipped off. Not possible to remove that with a regular brush. I respect the original grade but I think in a modern context, also considering the added difficulty of the now polished holds, this would be somewhere in the 6c to 6c+ range. After doing it only once, I think I can't upgrade it that much though. But maybe it has always been a little sandbagged.

Nicely textured rock but very easy for the most part. The crux is okay - not very interesting as it's basically a balancy reach to a jug. Still a nice climb.

Nice one! Great gym like climbing, if you know where to go. 2nd go #sportRP

Ticked 4 years after! Felt super tough in the cold yesterday. Fast and solid 1st go send today on someone else's QDs. #sportRP

Fun, rather bouldery crux.

By the skin of my teeth! I did one move into an undercling that I instantly regretted and almost fell of while pulling up into it. Also it felt like the pump made my hands even colder. Limit for 4°C today. #sportRP

#Repeat. Less heady this time but still a tough 6b.

First multi-pitch of the year as a little bit of practice! 2nd and 3rd pitch on good rock, compared to other routes here. Technically possible as one single pitch but the rope drag would probably be crippling.

A slab/ arête but the apparent line is not the route unfortunately. The guide does not clarify either. I traversed right at 5th bolt instead of going onto the slab on the left of the arête but that's more like 6c+/ 7a and you end up climbing on horrible brown rock. After watching Basti, the easiest line seemed to be to escape onto the slab between bolt 4 and 5.

Really tricky sloper-arête. Footholds are mostly smears. Some crimps to save you. Worth 6b+ in todays shape, I think. Definitely harder than "Weg der letzten Helden".

100 times better than it looks with nice, techy moves! The topo-description is accurate – adventurous and airy. The rock is still quite fresh. Good friction compared to other climbs here! I linked the two pitches. (Revolver draw for 1st anchor, 2nd pitch: unclipped 1st bolt and alpine draw for 2nd. Still some rope drag from the intermediate anchor.) Passing the final bulge, my first idea was to break out to the right but there's some vegetation/ small tree stumps blocking the holds. Managed to climb almost straight over the bulge in the end after downclimbing two moves. Grading this is a little difficult. The moves are not so hard but the climbing is sometimes awkward, in parts not so obvious and requires some confidence. I'd say solid 7, alpine touch.

A slab with a rather thin crux and an odd diagonal dihedral.

Destroyed by traffic.

Left variant. #repeat

Quite tough today with some slightly greasy/ muddy holds. Also lacking endurance after the long "max power only" phase.

Okay warmup. Didn't really trust the footholds on the left side of the corner.

Seems like a good first outdoor-route. A lot more friction than on the vertical main wall!

Awkward moves on okayish rock. Still worth doing. Quite a fight for the grade! Dihedral (cruxes) are easy by definition, it seems.

A boulderproblem at the 2nd bolt and some awkward and balancy parts.

Very incut, slippery jugs that are a little bit too good to be true. No obvious line.

Good, technical climbing at the very top. Bottom half quite awkward and slick. Not that easy with freezing fingers! 5c at least.

Far better than expected! If this wasn't chipped, I'd give it three stars. Nice moves! Flash after Basti and Tillmann tried it.

redpoint 2nd go overall. Surprisingly good climbing! #VVV

A really nice route! Quite pumpy with few rests and open holds. Nice moves.

Quite good! Laybacking!

Didn't expect such good climbing here. A really cool, easy going crack system. Mostly hand-sized but also fingers and fist. Lots of holds on both sides of it.

#barefoot while others were projecting "Bahnverbindung".

Cool gaston finger lock!
