Ascensioni in Hillenbergwand

I tried it on lead but it was too hard, so I took the Clipstick in my first try. First meters until a restpoint in the dihedral are pretty hard. Almost every hold is turned upside down. Looks very different to the pictures in the topo. Think there must have been a big rock fall. The next few meters is some easy dihedral climbing and an easier wall climbing section with some good sidepulls. Upper part was quite physical and requires some endurance. Good holds, but in the "wrong" direction. Smearing footholds in a slidely overhanging wall. The good footholds move you in the wrong direction which is making body positioning not that easy. A nice route but for me much harder than 7.

Did the first part of the route. The cruxy part from the dihedral to the ledge was quite reachy and technical. The good ledge before you need to go around the corner is loose and marked with an X. Without the loose ledge it was hard to move around the corner. I fell while trying. The last three bolts to the chain were quite physical laybacking for me.

Way harder now at the beginning since holds where removed. Was too much for a warm up, have to try again.

We used a 60 m rope and still had a few meters left.

First meters far more difficult after large-scale rock breakout.

Difficulty depends very much on how directly the first meters are now climbed. Easy: enter via "Weg des gerinsgsten Widerstands".
