Ascents in Ettringer Lay

Full trad. Short and straightforward for a VII+ crack in Ettringen. Aucune Plaquette, Der Hulk, Mettwürstchen and Kondensstreifen are significantly harder in so many ways. And Dreckriss is much harder.

Trad

Fantastic! Long crack. Always thought it was called Der Shrek, either way the mossy rock makes you green. Key is to place minimal protection (3 small cams on top of 3 bolts) and speed over the bulging crux by dülfering on shallow jams.

Full trad. Allegedly the oldest line in Ettringen (1995?). Amazing skyscraping dream crack. The final bulge brings a flaring handcrack all the way at the end which is an awkward mean onsightkiller.

2nd Go

Fun but unstraightforward laybacking. Thanks Kiki.

godly moves up the depths of Mordor (merci BB)
