Description

Due to proximity to road and many easy routes probably the most popular cliff in the Okertal. Some of the routes a quites crammed in, so may feel somewhat defined.

Access issues inherited from Okertal

The Okertal is a nature protection area (Landschaftsschutzgebiet). Parts are Natura2000 area and some cliffs may be closed from February to July due to nesting falcons.

See: IG Klettern Niedersachsen - Closures

Approach

Take the bus to the southern limits of the town of Oker (bus stop Waldhaus - unfortunately this is the final stop). Walk or cycle along the road for 1.8 km. The cliff is on the right hand side on the left bank of the Oker creek. If you pass a small reservoir, go back 200 m.

Ethic inherited from Okertal

Please stop wild camping in the Okertal!

Please stop making barbecues, it smells, it starts wild fires, it leaves waste!

All that endangers our permission to climb here!

Chalk:

It is allowed, BUT clean up your marks. As most of the stone is dark, it is much to visible. We like to search for holds ourselves.

Bolts/Anchors:

Most easier routes do not have bolts, only harder ones are sparsely bolted. Anchors are single glued in steel rings in most cases.
