Ascents in Hiltpoltstein by Daniel

Best route I did here!

Not logging my initial attempts at the boulder before going again for the send... Had the second bolt pre-clipped for safety.

Better than it looks! Doesn't look too good though.

Couldn't figure out the crimpy part near the end

Almost failed the finish due to the sun being right in my face. The quick draws and one extension were already in, which helped.

Went smoothly, but it's challenging!

Was totally lost in the transition into the upper crack. Also, I didn't dare approaching the second bolt without using my panic quickdraw.

Great route, not as polished as the others, but not as straight-forward as I had hoped for my warmup.

I had the first to two bolts already clipped and gave the bouldery crux at the beginning one or two shots before going with the static solution ("eingedreht nach rechts"). I actually found the upper parts harder, and much appreciated the extension of the fourth quickdraw. I ended up putting my right hand in the crack of ASC Weg (but still within reach of my bolts), not sure how fair game that was.

Taping the left index and ring finger helped a lot with the sharp pocket in the beginning.

One of the best routes here.

The boulder at the beginning is supposed to be the crux, but I actually struggled more in the wall after that. Rewarding!

All good and fun until the last bolt, where it gets really steep along a double-crack with semi-good holds. Felt weak due to the heat and couldn't really figure it out. Not even after clipsticking into the anchor. Maybe I should try this again when it's cooler.

Hard boulder between the first and second bolt. I gave up here in 2016, and it did not feel any easier today. Stepping right into the dihedral helped.

Fun! On a better day, this might have felt easier, but that bit of desperation actually added to the enjoyment.

Not a chance!

Oops, left two of Christoph's quickdraws in the top!
