Ascents of Peitsche

3rd go

Very pretty and super badass at the same time! Had to give a lot for the flash!

Draws in, some beta and encouragement by Christoph Rauch. "No, that's the best hold there. Yes, just do the move"

Standing high above the bolt in the first laybacl section feels airy!

Unusual crack climbing; cool layback at the start, then another perfect layback from the ledge (careful when clipping the second bolt). A cruxy section where the crack becomes vertical sucks you dry, but once you hold the chockstone in your hands, it gets easier with a bit of jamming and a few sidepulls here and there. We extended the original line with the finish of "Rockpalast".

Pretty cool, but I failed in the vertical crack section. Approaching the second bolt after the ledge is a bit scary. It helps to already have a (long) quickdraw in.
