Begehungen in Föhrenstein

Schmerzhaft

In schlechtem Zustand

The slings aren't really trustworthy and the peg isn't the best either. Placed a mediocre cam, but couldn't reach the crucial jam in time and slipped out the dusty crack. Didn't want to try again, it would be best to cut out the old tat.

2nd go. Polished, painful, pumpy. Not too bad, but far away from being a "top tour"^^

Short, steep, slightly painful holds. One pocket in the crux was wet, felt awkward, still managed to make the move into the round pocket, albeit more dynamically than I would usually have done it.

Good line, good climbing. The hardest part is getting past the first bolt, easier if you have thin fingers. There's an old peg in the upper part, I wonder which way the original line took.

Ouch

Great steep tour on jugs. Should be longer.

Lovely overhanging jug fest. I took some time to figure out the best sequences.

Good pocket climbing. The holds are relatively shallow, best be quick to not get pumped!

Nice, easy crack, maybe 5 up to the ledge. From there it's two difficult moves into the upper dihedral; there's a perfect keyhole for a 100% nut.

Bolting felt airy.

Nice easy route on jugs. If you go to the summit directly at the ring on the ledge, it seems a bit harder than 5, but it could be that the original route goes up on the right, slightly around the corner (was wet today).
