Begehungen in Kletterrosenwand

Now I could take advantage of my own cleaning operation in March. Surprisingly easy traverse without a thick layer of dust on each hold and dirt on each foothold. I'm still puzzled about the last step up to the belay, though. The second pitch is so nice, it's just a shame that it's so short. #lastrouteoftheday

Great line, rock, and climbing. Crack/chimney dihedral, the respective techniques are mandatory. A shame that this gem is in such a remote, dark place so it doesn't get any traffic at all.

Climbed every passage freely, but rested at every bolt to clean the holds. Also, didn't really anchor the rope at the bottom, using a lead solo device, since it's a long traverse. Instead I tried something a bit awkward, because each bolt is trustworthy on its own: I tied in in the middle of the rope, then anchored off at each bolt with a bit of slack, cleaned the holds and footholds to the next bolt on rope tension, then climbed the passage freely, anchored off at the next bolt with the other strand of rope and finally went back on rope tension to retrieve the gear from the previous bolt. A lot of effort, but I didn't want to do the whole route twice to retrieve the gear. The vertical passage after the book case is the most interesting (and the least chossy) part, with one challenging section before the sling, then jugs to the top. But the crux seemed to me to be to get to the book case in the first place.
