Begehungen von Swan Lake

On gear.

I love this route! Amazing climb

I guess I warm up on this now 😅

Can’t believe I got convinced to warm up on this thing 🤓

Whaaaaa I sent it! Such a cool journey! I laughed a lot at myself today, because I messed up in every way possible 🤣🤣 I almost came off towards the ledge before I was even clipped in, tried the very first move in a different way which was hard. Couldn’t get into the kneebar in the roof and tried numerous times and wanted to take but the people were screaming at me 😆 so when I went for the grip, I barely had it but pulled up anyway and gaaawd knows how I stuck that. Now I was too tired to even climb to the good resting place in the open book, so had to shake out before that haha! Found a new rest above the rest because I was so desperate. Doing the last crux I didn’t trust my footwork and barely stuck the hold (I use a small intermediate crimp). I laughed so much because how am I still on the route. Looked up and saw the chains next and realised I have to persevere. Josh gave me all the beta for the last moves in detail, but I did not manage ANY of them 🤣🤣🤣 but found a weird fingerlock and sidepull that had no chalk which led me to the glory jug to clip the chains. I celebrated like never before! Hahaha, what an awesome route!

Beta again from Wes, awesome classic steep climbing.

One burn. Managed to do both cruxes today and got all the way to the top 🕺🏽

Checked this monster out for the first time 👀 Wow, it’s hard and awesome!!! I wasn’t able to do the crux, but hey, I figured out the very first move 😆 This is going to be quite the adventure!

What a cool route...classic

Finally! Grant with the golden belay on a golden afternoon. Loved working this route and hope to keep climbing it for many years to come.

Send! First legit 25. Fifth go on lead, one hang last session. Thought it would go down today but not after doing two new 24s! Best day climbing ever Birds nest didn't prevent the send. Climbed with Simon.

Lol, this was such a huge project back in the day.

Repeat lol I got so pumped and so scared but I'm definitely stronger through the 2 cruxes

Worked on this for a few weeks. Absolute classic. Send was a bit of a fight would like to repeat and clean it up

Phenomenal!

mind blowing!

Kneebar is critical!

Such a feel good route!

Still one of the best i've ever done
