6+ Adlersteig, Einstiegsvariante - with Harald Mixed trad 17m, 5
Nice starting variant along the obvious crack, nuts are a must.

  
6- Talweg - with Harald Mixed trad 30m, 4 ★ Good
Climbed the original line this time, starting like Mäuselkante, then going left around the arête and up to the ledge.

  
6+ Karl Hetz Gedenkweg - with Harald Mixed trad 30m, 4 ★ Good
Originally climbed with only one bolt in the first pitch, which is astonishing. The second pitch is only recommended for enthusiasts; the ringed bolt directly after the belay is followed up with only three pitons and a good tree. Powerful over the bulge, then grassy to the headwall, which is actually quite nice and not too intimidating despite the old pegs.

  
3 ★ Bergseite Trad 25m ★ Good
The south-west chimney isn't entirely trivial. From the plateau it's enjoyable wall climbing along the easiest line.

5+ ★★ Westwand - with Daniel Trad 35m ★ Good
A bit easier than the zealously overbolted "Alte Talwand", but, I must admit, not as good. Draws to the left, almost to the arête, after the second ledge (look for the bolt). From there, straight up over blocky ledges to the top.

Hersbrucker Schweiz Mittleres Pegnitztal Weißer Grat
5+ ★★ Weißer Kamm - with Ellen Mixed trad 18m, 2 ★★ Very Good
Climbed it again to be able to abseil down to the beginning of Wolf-Albrecht-Gedenkweg, which is no longer easily reachable from the right, and neither from below because there's only choss and moss.

  
5+ ★★ Weißer Kamm - with Daniel Mixed trad 18m, 2 ★★ Very Good
Pretty good for something that isn't on anybody's radar. Nice crack and dihedral climbing up to the middle, then cool traverse to the right, and an airy finishing dance on the arête, then either get to the easy terrain on the right or (bolder) climb directly up the arête.

Forgotten route, probably hasn't been done in ages. The vegetation is thick. It's a shame, because the climbing isn't that bad.

Blocky dihedral that climbs quite nicely. For some people, the start might be the crux. No anchor, but you can climb up to the anchor of the route on the right (nuts necessary).

Hersbrucker Schweiz Haunritz Alter Fritz
4+ ★ Alter Weg - with Raimund, KP Mixed trad 18m, 1 ★ Good
Not as vegetated as I had feared it to be. After the chimney, just keep a bit left and climb onto the big blocks. From there it's pretty difficult to get onto the next ledge, hats off to the first ascnetionists. An airy step to the right and up on jugs past a tree to the summit.

  
5 ★★★ Talweg - with Raimund, KP Mixed trad 25m, 4 ★★★ Classic
Brilliant, airy classic. The section where it leaves "Bayerlandverschneidung" to the right felt hard for the grade. From the next ledge, it's also a bit bold because there aren't too many good options for additional protection. The traverse back to the left of "Bayerlandverschneidung" is stunning. Exposed and very worthwhile. #jahreserste2024

Weißmain-Alb Wattendorf Alpenvereinswand
3+ ★★ Gerade Südostkante - with Merlin Mixed trad 30m, 3 ★★ Very Good
5- ★★ Alter Weg - with Merlin Mixed trad 40m, 4 ★★ Very Good
The original line starts in the middle of the face in easy but grassy rock, then goes to the crack on the right. From the last ledge, it traverses left into the vague dihedral, then further diagonally up to the left. The dihedral is certainly the hardest part, but I don't think it's 6- as it's given in most guidebooks.

Fränkische Schweiz Spies Hohe Reute
5 ★ Kraftriss - with Harald Trad 14m ★ Good
Awesome shoulder crack with an easy chimney on top that looks intimidating from the ground. The shoulder crack can of course be climbed frontally without any crack skills, but you shouldn't! Good but tricky nut placement after a few meters, a good sling shortly after.

  
5+ ★★ R.R.-Riß - with Harald Mixed trad 14m, 1 ★ Good
Fun crack line with a lot of full-body action. The top section isn't easy, but the low temperatures probably didn't help.

  
4 ★ Hüttenriss - with Harald Mixed trad 16m, 1 ★ Good
Good easy line, slings and nuts are helpful.

5+ ★ Mittelweg - with Alex Mixed trad 30m, 5 ★ Good
One of only two (mostly) dry routes at the crag today. Classic traverse through the wall, enjoyable dolomite stroll. Crux are the final few meters to the belay. Second pitch is easier but grassy and a little chossy up to the point where you merge into "Langer Riss".

Alpine adventure, rope management is key, but also not ripping off holds in the brittle but beautiful middle section.

  
Sat 28th Oct 2023 - Frankenjura Nord
Fränkische Schweiz Mittleres Wiesenttal Wolkensteiner Wand
5+ ★ Rechter Weg - with Melanie Straubmeier Mixed trad 25m, 4 ★ Good
Good route that avoids the hard sections. Unfortunately, I didn't take yet another look into the old guidebook, so shortly before the finish I didn't notice I had to do another traverse to the left in easy terrain. Instead, I climbed upwards, following obviously polished holds, but it turned out to be a red herring and the polish seems to come from top roping that section, because on lead, it's a 5 m runout at least to easier ground, then yet another 3 meters to the anchor.

3 5+ A1 10 lead by Christoph Rauch
4 6- 8 lead by Christoph Rauch
Mixed trad 18m, 13
Aid pitch through the roof (from the anchor of Halber Hermann), set up hanging belay in the original position due to rope drag. Short pitch to the book case, then up over the bulge to the place where Schuhmacher comes in from the left. The top part was wet, so I decided to finish the Schuhmacher route.

  
Mon 23rd Oct 2023 - Frankenjura Nord
Fränkische Schweiz Würgau Frankenwand
3 4 ★ Frankenkamin - with Merlin Trad 15m
Nice little chimney, but too short. And it's certainly not 4 UIAA, rather 3 or even easier.
