Second attempt with success. As I had already onsighted the 2nd pitch I was not motivated enough today. I felt that the 2nd is harder than the others. But maybe I just did a stupid job. The third pitch is also great. In contrast to the second one, it requires more endurance because it is continuously difficult. The crack is finger-width at the beginning and a really goodfist clamp is waiting at the last hook. Thank God, because without it the on sight attempt would have failed. I had almost used up all my grains. Shortly before sunset I reached the rock head happy and exhausted. Great route.
Hiltrun Buck followed at dusk and made it to the exit. During her ascent I could enjoy the nature and the peace at this time of day. It was wonderful to see the falcons flying under me and the Danube flowing. Hopefully this was not the last beautiful afternoon in the Däle.
The entry pitch is really good and worthwhile even if you abseil again afterwards. Probably 35 meters or more. First steepcrack and holes then a slab at the end. From the first belay you go along the old rings first a little to the right and then directly up into the crack (fist, hand). It felt harder than the first pitch, but probably the power decreased and my crack technique was really bad or not existing. Then we had to abort because of the approaching darkness. Rappelled down with head light So the limited free time was used to the maximum.
