Ascents in Neidecker Wand

Great first pitch in sublime rock. Knew the dihedral already from "Verbindungsweg". The traverse from the big rock tunnel to the right is also beautiful and easy. Second pitch starts off with tough boulder moves away from the ledge. Doesn't get much easier from there, but the rock is good and the protection is also fine (there's even a little tree to wrap a sling around in addition to the Bühler bolts and pegs). I aided a few sections, then retreated at the Bühler bolt on the next little ledge, since it was raining and the top part is chossy and was already quite wet. I'll gladly come back to finish the second pitch (and freely, too!).

Brilliant dihedral with an overhanging finish to the ledge. Stopped there (as did the people before me as it seems, because there was a krab in a rusty peg) because the second pitch is full of thorn bushes. Got to get back and clean it up, but I guess the first pitch is the rewarding one, anyway.

Beautiful chimney climbing to a ledge. I actually wanted to climb the original line; I was already starting the traverse when the rain set in and I realized just how chossy that traverse is. Not sure if anyone ever freed that thing, because it's quite dangerous. Rope tension is certainly the way to go here. The dihedral variant on the left looked dry, easy and solid, so I backtracked a bit and went that way. When I reached the belay, the rain was already quite strong and I got soaked. When it's dry, you can walk up on the left and climb over the castle wall, but due to the rain we had to abseil diagonally from the tree, back into the chimney, which worked nicely.
