Ascents in Schonunger Wand

2nd go. A little bit confusing to find the right way.

2nd go. Good rock, weak line! If you clip from the left, definitly easier...

2nd go, better (and harder) than its left neighbour, but still easy for the grade...

This must have been the best warmup I've ever done. ;-) Over 20 meters through the middle of the face on positive holds in perfect rock; reasonable protection (i.e. just enough bolts, but not dangerous) and not even polished. Marvellous.

Boulder start over the bulge, small holds in the upper part. The upper part might be much more difficult if one tries to stay in the line of bolts, but you can easily clip the bolts from the left, where the good holds are.

Varied climbing along an obvious crack line, great way to end the day.

Crux around first bolt and fun easier climbing above. High first bolt and pretty spaced bolts afterwards. Trow in a sling through a Sanduhr and a tree in your back at the upper crux and you get a typical Franken/German fucked up sportclimb. Once again. Get over it - the rock/climbing is not worth the semi-trad approach. Elitist erretics. Second point: FFS brush after you climb! The rock in the Franken is often rounded, has a fairly smooth texture and tends to be slippery in the [too often] humid
