	6a+ 6b+	★★★ Motorhead	Trad 480m	★★★ Mega Classic	Luke Franzke	Mon 7th Aug 2017
I carried 2x 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.75 and 1x 1, 2 Camalots. A set of peanuts covered a few spots that were too small for cams. It wasn't possible to place anymore than that, so no need to bring anything additional (unless you have offset or totem cams, which will get you several more placements in the numerous flared cracks. Great route!

Schon ziemlich plattig. Aber sonst hammer, auch wenn viele Bohrhacken von einem frustrierten alten Kletterer entfernt wurde.

The crack systems are quite flared so there’s not much jamming to be had. Mostly friction slab & laybacking. Very chill & fun but felt a bit hyped. 1hr 30 to walk-in, 4hr30 on route.

Great Route! Took us 5:45 h to climb. I had a hassle to find a free QuickDraw on my christmastree-like harness in pitch 3 to clip the 2nd bolt. When I found it I clipped, grabbed it, hated my self and let it go instantly to finish the pitch... So unfortunately no valid free ascent

A fall at pitch 10 and a short rest on pitch 13 due to wet conditions.

Nice route with varied climbing. Generally, the grades felt soft but the two crux-moves on the slab in P4 felt significantly harder than any other part in this route, so subjectively I'd swap the grades between P4 and P6...

	6a+	Ahoi	Sport	Average	mike	Sun 18th Aug 2019
Could actually really count as a 6a+ if you strictly follow the bolts. This, however, feels really forced and unnatural...

This one, too, felt way easier than even most gym 6b+'s I've climbed. Beautiful route nonetheless.

Stand nach der 5. Seillänge hat ein super kleines Mallion drinn... das sollte ersetzt werden. Finden wir ein wenig sketchy... In der 7. Seillänge hats den ersten Haken erwischt... zum 2. wärs jetzt ein ca 7m platten Runout... auch leider auch nicht zusätzlich absicherbar...

Very nice route, but be careful with the approach: The route doesn't start at the very bottom of the slab, but some way up at a grass band that should be reached from the side. I started at the very bottom, in a dihedral marked with a red arrow, and did a 4c slab, 40m, with only a single bolt in it for protection, until I arrived at the proper first belay. See picture for clarity. Had a problem in the second pitch, a small section of orange rock was super slippery and I just could not get any traction on it, slipped and fell after multiple attempts.

Slab-walk. Often along a corner which helps with increasing friction. Climbed entirely in pitches. (2h)

Somewhat monotonous "Plattenschleicher" ("slab-sneaker"?!). The crux-pitch was really nice, though. The route is really easy, one could well subtract a grade from most pitches.

Great alternative if Foxie is crowded (which it nearly always is). This has some surprisingly varied climbing, even though it is still predominantly friction slab. I especially liked p4, a great 5a traverse on rock that is much more textured than the usual glassy Grimsel slab. 5a is a hard grade for that pitch, could also be 5b/+. The pitches here are drilled for exactly a 50m rope, you often have 1-2 meters left when your partner is at the next belay. Only the last pitch is very short. With a 60m rope you might be able to link the last two pitches, with a 70m you can do it for sure.

We did this to get accustomed to the mocal friction slab climbing style. But this one is actually quite varied. I felt really shaky in the third(?) pitch avoiding the slab move, stemming up a thin edged and corner to the right instead...

great route, walk off is great. Slab pitches (2 and 9) are hard but protection is overall pretty reasonable. run out where it's easy.

	6a+ Hard	★★ Schiefer Traum 1 5b 45 Sport It's possible to place some cams here (0.5-1), but not strictly necessary. Varied climbing. 2 5c+ 45 Second Don't stop at the old belay, but continue heading right. The crux move (pressing feet into slab while holding an undercling) can possibly be skipped by following a grassy crack to the left. 3 6a 45 Sport Slab. 4 6a 45 Sport Slab. Crux moves right at the belay. 5 6a+ 45 Sport Slab. Took me a few attempts to find a small edge for the left hand, which gives enough stability to raise the right foot. Once you have all the holds, the rating is ok. Stay to the left, once the next belay comes into view. 6 5c 45 Second Slab with some vertical steps. 7 5c 40 Sport Slab. 8 5a 45 Second Slab and an easy flake. 9 5c 45 Sport Slab and an easy flake. 10 5b 45 Second More varied terrain including a nice mantle over a small overhang. Make sure to use alpine slings to reduce rope drag! 11 5b 45 Sport Enjoyable slab along varied structures.	Sport 490m	★★ Very Good	MiniMized	Sun 17th Sep 2023
First time on a big slab wall. Protection was sometimes a bit scary, but always fair. Quick and easy rappelling. Finding the start of the route was a bit of a hassle. We ended up climbing the right side of the large boulder that sits in the gully (we also saw a bolt on the left side of the boulder, but it seemed a bit sketch). Despite numerous notices that the wall would be wet until 11:00 a.m., we started climbing around 09:00 a.m. and found dry conditions, although there was a bit of Foehn wind, which usually means very low humidity conditions.
