Ascents in Edelweißblock

Completely wet except for the first two meters, but the jams are good enough. #jahreserste2023

Started via "Weg für Verklemmte", which joins the original line quite soon (at least there are rusty old pegs next to the glue-ins). Had to set up belay on the small ledge below the roof because I didn't have any draws left. Easy traverse around the corner, leaving WFV, then up on the right via the crack. Had to struggle quite a bit with that one. Some of the holds also crumbled beneath my hands, because it's not climbed often. Quite dusty all in all.

Quite solid layback climbing, one of the harder summits in the Frankenjura. Looks more intimidating than it is, though.

Good line along the crack dihedral with nice laybacking. A bigger block at the end of the crack is brittle, but fortunately there's a nice, thin, but solid sidepull to the left of it. Finished via the right-hand exit, which is supposed to be the easier variant, but quite tough for the grade; a few balancy slab moves to the jug, then through the greenery to the summit.

Chossy start, then actually a nice, long traverse, gradually getting steeper and harder. The crux is where the traverse ends and the rock gets worse again. Hard moves on questionable structures lead to a grassy ledge. The rock in the upper part is perfect, the protection is mediocre though. You shouldn't fall on the last meters. There's a relatively new rappel ring in addition to the old, rusty one that can be moved freely …
