Ascents of Schwer und Steil as Red point or First free ascent

Short and bouldery. Harder for those with fat fingers. Technically a second go because after I did the crux I had no quickdraws and had to repeat it right away from the ground. It’s a pity cause it’s super easy after the crux.

2nd Go

Harder start for short climbers. Technical crux, required fingers strength

Refreshing to find a good face climb in morning shade. Crimps and footwork make for a cool crux.

Could've onsighted, but slapped a few cm lower and botched it nice short & obvious one nonetheless!

Guidebook says 7b (definitely wrong), local guides say 'for sure 7a+'. I'd say 7a/+ is probably fair? Really nice crux sequence!

Good mix of crimps and slopers. Best to skip first bolt and stick clip the second.

Crimpy, short

Make sure not to fall on your belayer!

First 7a, the three move crux is so satisfying to pull. Stoked!

Starts off on crimpy face climbing leading to a big, technical move at the crux with moderate jug-climbing for the finish. Fun!

Easiest 7b?
