Ascents in Bleisteinwand

Nice, fluid movements over the pillar with a cool separate start to the ledge through along the crack. More on the 8 side.

Cool layback start along the crack, then drives off left into the overhang on good holds. One slightly harder move gets you to a rest position before the cruxy bulge.

Surprisingly good, even though it's pretty damn close to the neighbouring routes. Up top, you're definitely climbing the crux of "Sauerpower", though. The middle part is certainly nice with fantastic pockets.

Endurance climbing in slightly overhanging terrain with a huge, but probably safe runout after the third bolt. Not easy for the grade, felt harder than "Sauerpower" to me, the latter being only one hard move.

Pretty nice pocketed wall with a few surprising pocket underclings. Nice moves up top.

Hard sequence over the second bolt on strange sidepulls, the rest is easier.

Great wall climbing with superb holds and a spicy finishing runout which can be cut short using a nut.

Beautiful crack line with perfect rock quality. Take some medium to large cams and a few nuts or just run it out.

Interesting start getting over the block, then runout (nut) through slightly chossy, but nicely cleaned (thanks for the work!) terrain to the actual crack. From the ground I thought I would climb deep in the crack, but actually it's more of a dihedral with holds far out on the sides, very funny and elegant. Another cruxy move gets you out on the finishing slab.

Nice pocketed #warmup in black rock. The holds are there, just a bit hidden.

New bolts, well-placed, but the runout is a bit long, especially because all the holes are still dusty.

Good line, but somehow a bit awkward to climb.

Great route! I was a bit scared of the 6b layback start, so I had the first two bolts already clipped.

Felt a bit hard for the grade.

Even with plentiful protection placed by Christoph Rauch, and the first bolt pre-clipped, this was a real struggle. I knew the tough start already, and the wide crack at the top is by no means any easier. Schwertner puts this at 7+, which feels more like it...

Good warmup, felt more like 6+.

3rd go. Very good endurance climb. Many different ways how to do the crux moves. Felt more like 8...
