Turned around after second pitch, because upper pitches looked wet. Some bolts deformed due to rockfall or avalanches.

A 1978 classic. We didnt do it trad My Partner lead the pitches where trad gear was necessary with an incredible strong head game (you dont need gear in every single pitch if you can handle the run outs) Slab-Action to the fullest!

	6a+ Hard	★★ Schiefer Traum 1 5b 45 Sport It's possible to place some cams here (0.5-1), but not strictly necessary. Varied climbing. 2 5c+ 45 Second Don't stop at the old belay, but continue heading right. The crux move (pressing feet into slab while holding an undercling) can possibly be skipped by following a grassy crack to the left. 3 6a 45 Sport Slab. 4 6a 45 Sport Slab. Crux moves right at the belay. 5 6a+ 45 Sport Slab. Took me a few attempts to find a small edge for the left hand, which gives enough stability to raise the right foot. Once you have all the holds, the rating is ok. Stay to the left, once the next belay comes into view. 6 5c 45 Second Slab with some vertical steps. 7 5c 40 Sport Slab. 8 5a 45 Second Slab and an easy flake. 9 5c 45 Sport Slab and an easy flake. 10 5b 45 Second More varied terrain including a nice mantle over a small overhang.

First time on a big slab wall. Protection was sometimes a bit scary, but always fair. Quick and easy rappelling. Finding the start of the route was a bit of a hassle. We ended up climbing the right side of the large boulder that sits in the gully (we also saw a bolt on the left side of the boulder, but it seemed a bit sketch). Despite numerous notices that the wall would be wet until 11:00 a.m., we started climbing around 09:00 a.m. and found dry conditions, although there was a bit of Foehn wind, which usually means very low humidity conditions.
