Galawand Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

Summary:

Seasonality

All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 49.806232, 11.297593

summary

Impressive grotto, steep on the left, vertical on the right. Some very good looking lines, perfect for summer since it's always very shady here.

description

Steeply overhanging grotto, the bottom of which is filled with massive boulders. Mainly athletic overhang climbing in the left part. The right-hand side offers good climbing in vertical terrain.

The proximity to the creek and the hillside above keep it wet for a long time and it's rarely possible to climb the steep routes on the left.

access issues

Seasonal closures for protected birds. See here: Closed crags

Additional information: IG Klettern closure list

Zoning concept

Zone 1: NO climbing

approach

Drive from Behringersmühle towards Waischenfeld. One kilometer after Schottersmühle, you will find a small sign on the left for "Riesenburg" and a bigger parking lot on the right a bit further on (next to a little stone building). Park here, cross the river and turn left onto the walking track. 150 m up the valley you will see the crag on your right.
