Ascents in Gernerfels

Ganska köttig. Får fint att om-sighta om man är i normalform

Couldn't find a sensible beta quickly and didn't want to fuss around too much because people were already queuing up for the route.

Good wall climbing. Most holds are quite mediocre, so it's pretty sustained for the grade. Homogeneous in good rock. #warmup

#warmup no. 2.

Finally ticked this off after more than 5 years. Basically a flash. ;-) Long moves in steep terrain. The slab at the start is still awkward; careful, precise climbing is essential.

First try. Second bolt was already clipped; didn't trust the polished slab. Got half-way through the crux but then didn't see where to go next.

Foot slipped at the second bolt, couldn't help barndooring out... managed to climb the entire overhang in one go, at least.

warmup

Sweet warm up through the crack left of the overhang.

Tried it directly after Supernase without rest … fell on the small holds to the anchor, unfortunately, totally pumped. The first part is hard and a bit scarier due to the polished footholds.

Needed to look directly into the sun looking for holds. Probably killed the onsight, but maybe not.

Phenomenal jugs in a tremendously steep overhang with the crux coming when you're already pumped up.

Climbed in rain.
