Ascents in Glarner Alpen as various tick types by Andreas Aachen

Engaging climbing on stellar rock quality, where body positioning and esp. good footwork are key.

As always in Gäsi, seems tricky until you understand what needs to be done

I guess i was the first one climbing it this year; now the upper section is nice and clean again ;-).

Good addition to the crag.

The crossover / fall into the right hand sidepull is such an outrageous and unlikely move...Super cool when it comes together.

Not physically hard, but good body tension is key.

New long line left of Prince Eisenherz. Gets better the higher you go; with a tricky move out of the dihedral and onto the prow.

For me more 6c, but easier than the sandbagged 6cs to the left of it ;-)

A fun journey this one.

Rapped over it last year to clean it thinking it was Dschungelpfad. Now it turned out, the SAC Glanerland guidebook has this one and its neighbor confused, and this was the old project (I guess now, in hindsight, it makes sense why the grade was no-where near the suggested 7a 😉)

Removed the trees, cleaned the route, and added the missing bolt and anchor. It’s actually really nice to climb.

A bit of a puzzling crux down low (at least for me) where you do about 6 moves without gaining any height (but might be easier/ different if you can reach a bit higher from the ramp). Middle part is fun climbing and then another tricky section around the last bolt, with the typical Gäsi Shenanigans.

Grade needs confirmation.

Not harder than Alis Mum.

Trollfels Bingo complete ;-)

Brilliant climb, the best at Trollfels imho. stacked little boulder problems interrupted by descent rests.

Felt hard today in tropical conditions.

nice technical route, not too hard with the right sequence.

Messed up the onsight at the last hard bit, but was a really cool fight. Classic Route.

A bit contrived a bit green and a bit scary (some of the holds, you know your finger will stay there if your foot comes off.....). Otherwise some fun moves

Moriskenburg Bingo

A bit contrived. But once you accepted to go straight over the bolts and dont use the good stuff on the left its actually the better line! Still more 7c+ I think

I can stop bashing my head against the wall now

Sensorium in itself is already a classic, and this extension makes it even better. Hard to get established to the first bolt, then some fun resistance climbing to the crux...Its all about arriving with enough energy at those slimpers...

In order to send this I had to have Sensorium so dialed, that I could do it as a warm-up; and ended up sending Sensorium 3 times in one day

one of the better of the short ones.

Nice route! Longest at the crag.

Not as good as other routes on this wall but has some cool sequences. Unfortunately, its always a bit dirty which makes the footholds very slippery.

Remember that I found this quite hard at the end of the day.

Today it went down quite smoothly while putting up the draws and not really knowing what to do. So I guess it's 7b after all. Very cool climb.

Brilliant 44m of climbing with the crux at almost 40m height.

For me this felt a tad harder than grau gnom or sensorium but might be easier if you have longer legs or, even better, are more flexible than I am.

Another Gäsi classic; long with really nice sequences...essentially 3 7b+ on top of each other.

Very close to ticking the extension as well.

Nice!!! It's a 5m power endurance problem but the rest of the climb is still very cool!

The mantle kinda took my off-guard...

Felt impossible last time when i was tired; felt okay for the grade as a warm-up.

Three hardish sections separated by good rests. Soft but also absolutely my style.

(Put some draws and tick-marks on coming down from the neighboring route; otherwise onsight)

Some cool moves, but quite dirty and some very scetchy feet on 45° slopers.

Yes!

Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me, I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me =)

Put my draws in a bit over a year ago and now (after a total of 8 days over the last year) I can finally put this to rest! Classic line. My first of the grade

A warm up.

Half a move off the onsight. Cool route!

Soft but fun =). Nicely spaced bolts ;-)

3rd bolt is really hard to clip.

Cleaning up an old dog.

Super cool route, basically as good as grau gnom, just a bit shorter. The bouldery start (first 5 draws) Ended up being the crux for me. But lots of places where you can fall off, even after the no hands rest. (3rd go)

A victory for the small ones =). Maybe a tad hard for the grade, but a classic line either way.

Jugs in Gäsi!

...nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu....

Send this while sabrina was bitten by an ant which fell into her EYE!

.....what a weird day.

First grade 30...a bit of an aussie milestone =)

This is another very cool Gäsi line. A bit morpho / surely will be easier with larger wingspan, i.e. if you can span from one good sidepull to the other or go directly from undercling to the good undercling. For me, with all the moves I had to add in between on those sub-optimal holds this felt like a real step up from the 8a's / full value for the grade; thus the name holds true "El Valor" .

Ended up with some really cool sequences featuring upside down gastons, heel- and toe-hooks, pushing into slopy corners and of course, all in combination with a lot of sidepulls! Very happy with the send
