Ascents in Luxembourg as Tick

Retroflash/ basically onsight. Awesome route still. Only just made it. Happy to still never having clipped that piton. Friction almost back to normal. Hoping for better conditions for next time.

2nd go resend after getting the right beta for the top crux. First crux probably significantly easier for me because I can reach the thumbcatchy hold statically from the sidepull hueco.

Top crux beta: [Far left gaston into sidepull-pocket, adjust feet for layback, clip, rest right hand, right crimp of double slot for right hand (don't match this hold later), left foot onto big foothold rail, left crimp further up, right foot high or pull-up to get foot even higher, lockoff again to reach into the slot on the ledge with right hand.]

many tries, some loose rock...

Soft. Yes the boulder move is big and the feet are not great, but there is a great rest before it an a 5a climb after it. Still a Berdorf classic

nice one, nice little boulder move to get on the block, pretty moves after

I liked this one, delicate moves on the arrete. High or low start same grade

Not hard. Got rained off my onsight go on the slab. climbed it first go the next day.

topo says 'hidden classic', well, it certainly hasn't been climbed for a long time. Sandy and muddy sloper fest. don't climb
