Ascents in Blechfass

Leider noch ein zweites mal am Cliphenkel reingesetzt, nachdem dieser von einem Kletterer (G. H.) der Nebenroute blockiert wurde. 😉😘

I said I'd return for this one and here I am, five years later, it went third go The entry boulder felt hard when first trying but then the moves got smoother, ironically the easier flake part felt harder (maybe a little polished?) than 5 years ago, but then the tricky technical part went easy as soon as I got my beta figured out. Without the good rest on underclings just before the steep finale I would have been lost, but this way pump control was possible ^^ Super happy this honest 8 went down today - my first in frankenjura.

Nice route despite the looks. Relatively obvious line along chunky jugs to a good rest below the final bulge, which is easier than it looks (but still a little powerful, of course). Crux might actually be the start, the rest is endurance.

Oh bummer. Sat in the rope below the crux, about 3 meters off the ground, with no hard moves below me, then started from there, managed to get through the crux. Never having completed the upper part in one go, I didn't think I'd make it, so I continued on. Finished the traverse barely holding on and lunged for the sidepull. No idea how I stuck that move, but I kept pushing (or rather pulling) me to the top. Probably can't be arsed to do this again since the crux is such a hit and miss. Close enough to a clean send for me.

Decent #warmup with a few hollow flakes and quite a lot of bolts.

Richtig gut bei richtig guten Bedingungen.
