Ascents in Falkenstein

Every pitch a dreamlike path to the next pitch. You don't want it to stop.

A true masterpiece. Slabby first pitch onto the big ledge, then brilliant structures along the "porcelain arête" to the start of unique diagonal chimneys, followed by a ridiculous series of grooves reminiscent of amusement park slides. The final two pitches you are horseback riding up two fins, with a little chimney/wall climbing intermezzo. Protection is extremely scarce, but if you keep a clear head, it's no issue.

Holy shit that was scary.

Schöner weg. Riss Wand abfolge gut absicherbar. Schwierigkeit beim einstieg riss. Bis Ring gängig dann gut zum zweiten ring. Vor dem Grat gute schlinge.- ordentlich verlängert geht es zum 3 Ring. dann zum gipfel. Toller großer weg

My first route in Elbsandstein: a fantastic beginning. The first two rings can be easily supplemented with good slings, the traverses along the ridges are scary and run out, but safe enough. Took me a while to get used to the climbing. Soapy holds in the first third.
