Ascents in Falscher Schwur

If approached from below, the hardest part is the chimney in the south side to get to the actual climb. The top section is easy, but there are some big, hollow blocks, so better just use the solid holds (of which there are still more than enough). Better approached from the top, only a few meters from the hiking path. Great view over Egloffstein and the lower Trubach valley.

Actually a good line, and the climbing is nice, too, but the rock quality is several notches below average. The first pitch is still ok, although brittle. Setting up belay on the ledge around the corner is recommended. After traversing to the left and climbing up to the grassy ledge, I had already thrown down a few smaller pieces that looked like decent holds before checking them. Next to the third (and last) bolt, there was a massive block that looked rock solid, but dislodged from my slightest pull. Bovist later pushed it down so nobody else would try to pull on it. The route originally went up on the left via a ramp, but a small yew tree is growing there now, blocking the way, so I decided to climb up on the right via a crack, which turned out to be really nice and relatively solid. #jahreserste2022
