Ascents in Treppenstein

We finished by climbing the end of the Nordostverschneidung to the top of the 4. GT

die Crux würde ich mit 7 bewerten. Könnte aber auch in der falschen Tour gewesen sein.

Awesome, elegant wall climbing with good protection. I was told it was graded 7 and was surprised that it felt almost like a Frankenjura route of that grade, maybe even a little on the easy side. Seeing here that it's actually considered 6+ makes more sense.

Nice chimney with big holds.

4+ probably only up to the big ledge with the belay anchor. Gaining the summit is pretty tricky, involving a fist jam and a high step. I sunk my left leg into the horizontal crack to be able to reach up to the next lip. Done with support in the early days, hard for small people. The lower part is relatively straightforward, except for the last two meters, where you have to step out to the right (slightly exposed) to reach the big hold around the corner.

The start felt so brutally hard for the grade that I couldn't believe I was climbing the right route. Sat in my cam and lowered, then reviewed the literature, realized it was the right line, and tried again (the cams can be placed from the ground). You have to press hard on a sloper to gain the rib above the crack, so the hardest move is before the first bolt. Once clipped, it gets a little easier, but still pumpy. Very elegant climbing, though.

Absolut abwechslungsreich, technisch und schwer zu lesen. Löst sich dann doch irgendwie auf. Lohnenswert. Oben folgt noch eine schwere glatte Stelle.

Größtenteils leichte Tour (6-) bis zum oberen Bauch, auf den man unangenehm manteln muss. Es gibt bessere Touren hier.

Tolle Wandkletterei endet in einem coolen Handriss.
