Begehungen in Brocksfels

#repeat Still demanding. Great route.

A bit vegetated at the start, but not too bad. Actually a nice climb; crack start, then step onto the little arête. The sling in the peg below the final bulge (which you can't clip directly) is almost worn through, but it's also not an issue to leave that one out. The holds towards the anchor are a bit dirty, should be done more often.

Hm, meh. Wouldn't recommend it even without the vegetation. The start is interesting, though.

With pre set quickdraws and slings by Christoph Rauch. I was thankful for the sling over the last bolt, which was threaded under the flake around a jammed block. The route is homogeneous and moderate.

Definitely looks easier from the bottom than it really is. A few hefty moves on and over the first bolt and getting into the dihedral, but overall very nice route with several possible solutions in the upper part. I leaned on the left wall with one side and put my feet and hands mostly on the right wall. May be easier with jammed leg in the crack.

Stopped on the last bolt. Crux is on the 3rd bolt.

Nice long crimp and sloper moves on perfect slab with small footholds. The crux is in the middle on very bad small crimps and a high left foot. Then you have to make a long reach to another mediocre pocket crimp. Rest of the route is easier slab climbing.

Wer am Ende die Kante reitet macht alles richtig.

Nice boulder move at the first bolt. In the upper part fantastic dihedral/crack climbing on one vertical and one slabby wall. I put my entire left leg in the crack for an enhanced feeling of security.

Did it again just for fun, and this time, I went even further above the anchor to take the customary whipper. Took me a moment to let go.

On the first attempt, the traverse away from the second bolt felt really sketchy and I almost didn't want to go again because of that. Weirdly, I just floated through that part now. All in all still pumpy and challenging, but really good, too.

Having the quickdraws already in helps a lot.

Not repeated often, not as bad as it looks. Easy for the grade.

Nice! A real contrast to the slabby 7+: Good holds, overhanging. Straightforward, yet interesting moves.

Brilliant slab, like a little brother of "Bernd Arnold-Platte". Technical and interesting from bottom to top.

Probably quite hard if you try to climb directly over the bolts, but the more sensible line is certainly a bit left after the second bolt. #warmup

Nice climbing along the arête, the rock is a bit brittle in some places, but not problematic. Easy for the grade, I'd say 7+. #lastrouteoftheday

Good route with nice, but airy finish.

Actually good dihedral climbing with great rock structure, but the whole left side of the arête sounds hollow and a few blocks are loose, which diminishes the fun a bit. Additionally, the upper part is mossy, not everything's solid and the only protection is an old peg.

Interesting, well-protected dihedral. Rather short.

Good dihedral climbing with sharp jugs in the middle. No anchor at the top, unfortunately.
