Ascents in Eibenwände as trad by Christoph Rauch

Quite the adventure, even more so (of course) compared to "Frostfinger" due to the traverse over the ridiculous flake (no idea how that thing is attached to the wall). I had not forgotten how delicate and bold the rest of the route was, but even though I knew what was coming, I hesitated a little in the runout to the last bolt.

Traverses left at the second bolt, which turns out to be the crux. Afterwards it gets easier, but you have to add some protection, the last bolt is a little awkward to get to. The top is nice and easy in good rock.

Cool logical line. The eponymous flake is juggy on the right, but extremely dusty in the crack on the left, which spiced up even more the fact that there's no fixed protection in the lower part of the route. The lonely bolt in the dihedral before the finish is still sensible, though.

Another fantastic line that I had passed by before without noticing. A long, diagonal crack, perfect for some trad training. Perfect rock, nice hold shapes, good jams.

Interesting crack line. The difficulties are slightly above the bolts. Take a sling for the upper part!

Can be protected nicely with knotted slings! :-D Tree belay.

Nice to practise placing nuts and slings, abundant possibilities. And great rock quality.

Really good. The difficulties are over a few meters above the single bolt, then it's just a leisurely stroll up to the anchor.
