Ascents in Ailsbachtal

10/10+

Lots of varied and beautiful tricky moves from the bottom to the top of this vertical slab but the hardest move is the very last one directly in front of the chains! Thx to everyone for cheering me up:)

5 star climbing up this overhanging arête on pretty tiny crimps! The rain washed all the chalk out of the crux, so it was a real onsight but somehow the 6b crack in the beginning still felt harder;) going for the direct version next time!

Striking crack line with amazing moves all the way up filled with quite a lot of dropknees and sidepulls:) barely no footholds at the start so I was hanging there with just one arm for a second;)

Climbs way better than it looks! The upper crux was still a little bit soaked but thanks to Kevin for brushing the important holds:)

Really good climbing, mostly bigger holds. Nice moves, two slightly harder sections, in the first third on smaller holds and at the end of the layback crack in the end. The rock is a bit brittle at the end, though. More 8 than 8+.

Nice old-school route with small holds in the beginning and at the end. The middle part is powerful climbing on a sort of mini-dihedral-pillar-arête thingy. Good footwork is essential, then it resolves quite nicely.

Quite heavy on crimps, the humidity today didn't help. Slightly hard to read from the ledge, but the real crux awaits at the end. Great moves over the bulge and sustained on positive edges to the anchor.

Elegant wall climbing with a steep finish. It seems like our new bolt can now be clipped from below the bulge, but on the downside you can more easily get your foot into the rope. Better use a long draw or clip the old bolt. The pocket at the edge of the rooflet is fantastic, fits like a mitten.

Easy #warmup climbing in the first half; the actual route starts with a brilliant stemming/stand-up move; the next bolt is clipped from the left, followed by a slight traverse back into the line. From there on it's (sometimes shallow) pockets till the end. Really only one hard move, but beautiful climbing.

Great route. Delicate climbing along the arête. High second bolt, but felt okay to clip even despite the fact that you have to do it from the one greasy hold in the route. Technical with some hooks and balance moves, and of course the nice crack finish.
