Ascents in Alpen by Andreas Aachen

For 7c you have to stay left all the way

Warm Up

Soft as kittens.

Hure geil.

Soft as kittens. Sent as warm-up while putting the draws on.

Crimp endurance...

Tried this last year in the afternoon sun / heat and struggled a lot; today as warmup while putting the draws on in nice chilly conditions.

Brilliant route with a heart breaker finish.

Waterproof indeed.

Soft as kittens.

Climbing is cool but you have to force yourself to stay on the little crimps to earn the grade.

Done with the direct start. Basically classic climb but a bit contrived in parts.

Solved all the moves...Classic route, very delicate climbing all the way.

Not sure how to get over the overhang.

Local is the way to go.

Very happy with the onsight. Some hard to see holds.

Oh those beautiful slimpers. Corona is downgrading every route on this planet.

2 meter of separation.

The world goes down while I go up!

Finish is probably very hard to onsight.

Pretty sure I did some variation of this to the top. This time straight to the top in one pitch.

Not far from home, basically just around the corona.

Super cool route. I am sure it's popularity will spread...

Either need to be stronger or taller....or both.

Wenns brösmelet bist falsch.

Nice and technical.

2 mantles in one climb, must be good!

Should have went for the variant. Backed out after the last bolt, faced with the crumbly run-out to the anchor...

A Brochne Burg classic

Like bunny bucket buttress =)

Good when clean.

First pitch okayish, 2nd pitch very good.

Auf ins Grüne

banana shaped off-width....what more do you want?

Feels more like 6b to me.

Bouldery and inconsistent.

Have the 7b+ part solved but the transition into the 7c didn't reveal itself.

Pitch 1 is classic. Second pitch is good (not much harder imho). Third pitch finishes you off with an airy traverse followed by the exposed crux mantle. Brilliant; really enjoyed this climb.

There is a hard way and then there is the right way...
