Ascents in Germany by mivi

Just as I clipped the first bolt, the rain started...

UIAA 3 I'd say.

Interesting traverse left before going up

6+ seems pretty soft, maybe some things broke off and made it easier

A few hard moves at the last bolt, otherwise easy.

The ants also really like this route but we found an agreement. Share the trail

Misread the start. Fingers were not warmed up enough to make up for it with power

Not sure about the grade. The overhang wasn't that hard for me, but the section a few bolts lower was difficult (also to read) and cost me the onsight. Soft 7+?

Not sure where you're 'allowed' to go in the slab. Maybe not UIAA 8 (elsewhere but not in Flintsbach...). Still, the way I did it certainly harder than 'Animals'. Let's go for 8-.

Very nice route. Having an extended quickdraw already in place for the slab, was good for the mind

Too afraid to go for it from the second to the third bolt in the onsight try. Weird move to the left with bad feet.

Went for the wrong hold (too low) on my onsight try. If you cannot deadpoint to the good rail, this is significantly harder.

Feels almost easier than Holzwurm

I knew from last time that going left towards the end is a bad idea and yet I almost did it again - it looks so promising...

Primary difficulty is finding solid, clean rock.

Nicer than the left variation

Seems a much more logical line to me using the arete on the left, but then it is a 7 at most.

Took me four attempts to figure out the start. So many bad holds with a few decent ones hidden inbetween.

Needed one more go to warm up and remember all of the beta. Clipping the anchor remains the crux. Fell the second I had it clipped.

Seems tough for a 8-, but considering the length and that it only gets hard after the first bolt, that's probably fair.

Mostly juggier than it looks but also pretty polished and a somewhat committing crux.

Lost the redpoint to not being able to clip the anchor.

Had to work it once more to improve my beta from last time. Holds even more painful than I remembered them to be

I get the alpine part, the stemming in the upper part was almost fun. But 6a?!

When you can already see the maillon in the last bolt before the anchor you would expect the difficulties right there, but I didn't find a beta to even get to the bolt with the maillon?! Escaped by crossing over into Hilti Hilti.

Harder than Minimi

The polish didn't help but it wasn't the main issue either.
