Ascents in Geißleinwand as Onsight

The theme, "routes, parts of which I already climbed", continues. The cruxy start felt hugely different this time, though, because I forgot all the beta and just intuitively used the crack, which turned out to be way smoother than how I remembered my previous beta to be. From there it's a separate route, following a slightly overhanging crack dihedral. Great moves, good protection. The little runout at the end is chill. #lastrouteoftheday

Chossy start, unfortunately, but the rest is in good, black rock. Quite hard to read, lots of small, mediocre holds. Apparently hasn't been climbed in a while, the holds were all super dusty. Didn't make it easier, really.

Unusual crack line with a bubble-like, sometimes sharp, cauliflower tufa structure. I climbed the first part as a chimney. Then easy traverse on underclings and on layback jugs over the bulge. Better don't wear expensive clothes on this one! ;-)

I was very surprised when I realised I had just climbed the overhanging crack start first try and without really thinking about it. Probably would have been hard to reproduce the sequence (I reached up high with the left hand from the undercling, then somehow toehooked blindly under the roof, pulled on a crimp on the right and wedged my knee into the dihedral), so I just had to finish it right away. Luckily, it worked out, although I almost fell off due to losing my right foot when I reached out to a jug on the right. Cool crack start and good wall climbing on pockets and crimps above.

Good crack line, a bit short like all of the routes in the left part. Crux towards the end.

Awesome layback crack. Felt easier than 7, but I like this stuff. The hardest part is getting out left from under the roof in the end, but with some good footwork you can reach the hidden jugs.

One short difficult section around the fourth bolt with two mediocre pockets in an awkward position. In the end I slapped to the good slopers up right before clipping.

Great, relatively homogenous (after the second bolt) climbing on smaller pockets, with a nice, easy (if you do it right) bulge to the anchor.

Cool little traverse sequence below the bulge with sketchy feet; took me a while to see where to go after that. Not really harder than "VCP" next to it.

Two difficult passages, one in the crack at the start, the other directly after the man-sized hole. The second is quite technical, with smooth moves. The chunky block in the end looks glued on (and I bet it is).
