Ascents of Durchzug

4th go

Brilliant and varied route. Vertical pocket climbing with a difficult passage right at the start, good rest point on the big ledge, then a pumpy overhang on jugs and sidepulls to a mediocre rest, followed by a hard section on small pockets (where I fell off …) and a juggy slab finish. Bolts are wide apart, great falls!

Fell off in exactly the same position … need to find another way to solve that.

Zu oberflächlich ausgecheckt und beim zweiten Mal bereits vor der Crux ausgepumpt gewesen. Im dritten Versuch nach der Schlüsselstelle nicht aufgepasst. Lang und pumpig, besonders oben schöne Züge. Unten recht knifflig. Leider zu warm und leicht sonnig der Tag.

The start felt so much easier in these temps today. Ran up the slab in a breeze, remembered how to do the boulder over the roof, but then went wrong above the big flake, so I had to reverse back and try again, my arms already quite pumped. But as soon as I found the wide crimp, I remembered how to do the last few tricky moves and arrived in relative safety at the jugs. Brilliant route. Long, sustained, never really easy. Draws were already in.

The kind of routes i love! espacially the headwall after the bulge is so great to climb!

Still not enough stamina for the redpoint
