Ascents in Luxembourg as Red point by Tobias Auth

Awesome route! 3rd go send. Low end 7b if you're tall.

Beta (Mostly to remind myself): First crux reachy and awkward but easy enough to still do it. Crucial foothold beta by Steffen: Foothold 10cm above the big undercling jug for the left foot for matching the edge. Right foot far right to shift sideways to the first hole. Mediocre foothold for the left and high foot way out right to push left to the 2nd hole. That hole (the smaller, hourglass shaped part of it) with left index and thumb, turned in, standing on the edge matched before w/ the left foot and reaching up w/ right hand to a decent rail. Dyno with high right foot and going with the left. Almost fell after sticking it. 2 more jugs to the anchor. #sportRP

OS go was reeally good but there is a not onsight friendly section close to the top. Glad that I got my QDs back because I struggled to do the first move 2nd go and smashed into the ledge several times while repeatedly falling into the first QD. Just skin damage though. Wasn't sure about foot beta for the first move. Maybe my max strenght for the first hold was just gone. Solved it 2nd go by using a even higher hold to the left of the crimp rail. I also followed the big holds to the left at the 2nd last draw. Going direct there looked a tad hard. #sportRP

5th go of the season! Sticking the last dyno felt incredible! #sportRP

2nd go. Burly but not as tricky as I expected. #sportRP

Send!! First route of the day. Also put the QDs in. Hyped. — Seems to be quite condition dependant. My skin was quite worn but grip was good and even though I only warmed up with resistance bands, I could hold on to everything well. 6c to the resting point above the slopers. Then lock-off strength to reach the good crimp. Clipping next QD late from a sidepull pocket (maybe shoulder/ gaston). Then the friction foothold left around the arête to reach for the top holds. Actually ok as a warmup or 2nd route. #VVV

First go of the day after working the route for the first time yesterday! Crux beta by Micha worked perfectly for me. My first 7a RP. #sportRP

Long, varied and photogenic! Never gave a route so many attempts so far. 2 trips, 3 days, about 8 attempts. After redpointing it, I thought it was way more technical than it was physical. #sportRP

What a dream of a climb!, Brushed the crux and put two draws in from Felyane. First go of the day! Clipped the anchor from below the mantle so it would be nice to repeat it without the high anchor clip. #sportRP

Finally! After jumping off from quite high I did it 2nd try of the day. A tough one to "real redpoint". Of course I forgot all the beta and had to fight and scream my way up. Glad that it worked out. Would be nice to repeat it next year in a more casual style. (Now that I know how to do the start, haha.) #sportRP

RP using just the lower of the two crack. #sportRP

2nd go send. First crux way more relaxed now and second crux doable with correct beta and tape on the right middle finger for the sharp, deep mono. Super good route! Still tough for the grade and hard on the fingers. #sportRP

2nd go of the day.

Finally! After looking at the crux again and ticking two crucial holds. Probably the 15th time I attempted. #sportRP

Nice and long climb with pockets and slopers. One part where you need to plan ahead to not go into a dead end. #VVV

My first try was in 2016.

Awesome to get it two years after my first try.

After going to far left at half height in first attempt the 2nd go was still demanding. Very nice route though! #sportRP

Send/ "onsight", 7 years after the first try.

A striking line! Another long awaited redpoint two years after. I think there are at least 3 ways of doing the last bit. Went straight ahead this time.

First time clean. Awesome line! Pumpy at the end.

Fun and technical climbing with interesting features. A crux sequence close to the top. Solved it with a knee bar, not using the horrible slopey crimp for the right hand. Pumpy!

Testing your endurance on good crimps. Finishes with a small roof. #sportRP

Finally got around to do this one again. First time clean.

Had a hard time in this one in 2016. 6a+ felt appropriate now. Good route and no choss (like described in the guide).

Nice climbing on good holds, more delicate at the top. First attempt in 2016 I think.

Fell on the slab. 2nd go was fun and way easier. #sportRP

I remembered this as quite hard from my first trip to Berdof. Some awkward spots and a little ugly. Not really worth doing with so many better routes around.
