Ascents in Ivory Tower

Really nice rock, but bolting is terrible.

Am Ende wird's noch einmal spannend

one of my first organic "big" falls of the trip on a grade i am usually confident at already, which made it an exciting and humbling failure. got the move immediately after falling but didnt go for the send

nice and wandery climb but with a dirty finish

The first 3/4 of the route are very nice and interesting wall climbing, which feel ok for the 6c grade. However, then you reach what the guidebook calls “an interesting bulge”, which I think rather is a small roof. This section felt far harder than the rest of the route and quite impossible for me. Even aiding through it, as I had to do, was not so easy due to a bit awkward bolt placement. Since I did not freeclimb the route, I am not really in a position to talk about the grade, but it felt quite a bit harder than 6c for me.

One steep, pumpy jugfest!

Currently, all the jugs were excessively tickmarked by someone, which makes onsighting kind of impossible.

Inhomogeneous route. Up to the last bolt, it’s approx. 5b, then you have two hard moves on flowstone to the top. Bolt placement is a bit awkward and maybe a bit wide sometimes. Bolts are beginning to corrode.

Sharp!

Really enjoyed this. First few metres are a bit sharp and awkward untill you get to the clean orange rock under the capping roof. Them it's lovely technical steep off vertical climbing.

Worthwhile. It's a little run out, and there is a closely bolted route just to the right that detracts, as when it feels run out, there is a bolt a metre to the right on the other line that confuses the issue.

Super!! Super hard at the crux which i pulled pass and its so sustained!

So cool, pretty thrilling!

Tough for the grade, but super cool!

The boulder on this required a good lock off and a long reach which felt pretty challenging for the grade but overall it's an excellent climb.
