Ascents in Pfelders

Crimpy, sharp granite and it took me three attempts. Goodbye fingertips, time for a restday.

Took me a long time to find a beta for the mantle, and then I failed three times at executing it from the ground. Seems pretty hard for the grade, but I guess it's fair since all moves before and after are not that bad.

Second session in this route. Two attempts with my beta from last time, then another hangdog where I found a way to slightly adjust the right hand. With that placing the foot is still completely blind, but at least a bit more secure. Then another two failed attempts executing said new beta, before I finally did it. Overall 11 attempts.

The mantle is clearly the crux, everything before is a lot easier. Still seems hard for the grade. I wont upgrade it before at least trying one of the 7a routes though.

All about the mantle...

Technical

No time for a redpoint before the rain.

Crux umklettert, danach im TR durch

Not as slabby as the name suggests

Oh boy. Such a nice and flowy route and then the last move to the anchor slaps you in the face

Still remembered what to do from last time but fell twice anyway before finally doing it.

Nice overhang. Very close to Aris towards the top.

I found the last part to the anchor pretty hard to onsight. Grade is fair though.

Took me an eternity to figure out the bulge. Downclimbed back to the no hands rest six times or so...

Fist bolt is high-ish but safe.

Either this is soft, or "Arbeitslos" is hard.

Surprisingly dirty in some places

Hat mit 5a nichts zu tun!

The start is #morpho as hell. The whole route is comparatively dirty. Doesn't seem very popular.

Just for completeness sake...Not a popular route I think
