Ascents in Säukirchner Turm

Better than it looks, also less chossy than it looks. Funky jug haul up to the last overhang. You can clip the anchor from the undercling before the route is actually over … the hardest moves are to reach the jugs above the anchor, though! Almost fell off there because I managed to get myself in an awkward position, had to dyno to the jug.

Fantastic climb along the obvious features. Surprisingly sharp pockets in the overhang.

Nice black slab in the beginning, then easy up to the overhang. Crux is after the second bolt in the overhang, where I bumped up slightly to the left. Felt somewhat close to "Alter Knabe" there if you don't dyno directly to the jug.

Tough as a warmup, the upper section is quite burly. Hard slab move at the second bolt. Incredible rock structure in the middle.

Difficult boulder problem to the ledge, the second bolt is hard to clip. Easy from the ledge (shared with "Bergseite").

#2go

Darn! This could have been an onsight, but I first messed up the order of holds (despite numerous tick marks...) and then didn't realize that I should do a slight dyno. Great route!

Some tricky moves in the beginning (sucks to be small here) and then it's basically over.

Gets pumpy at the top. The anchor can be clipped early, but there are still a few worthwhile moves left to get to the finishing jugs.

Fantastic jugfest with a slabby middle part. Almost sandstone-like features and shapes. I should come back and climb the other routes here as well.
