攀登 in Sittenbachtal

Climb is good, but anchor at the top is in a confusing and bad position.

Toprope Solo.

Toprope Solo.

Easily protectable dihedral, but properly mossy.

Messed up after the second bolt. Held on with my left pinky in a sharp mono and my right middle finger in a shallow mono; quickly decided to let go.

Quite hard for the grade, or maybe it's just the humidity. Tough sequence after the second bolt, left out the third. From there it's easier, but the rock is (still, I must say, the lower part wasn't exactly bulletproof) brittle and some care is necessary. From the big ledge, there are some good pockets, but I almost got desperate towards the end. Apparently the upper part is 7-; I somehow doubt it, but maybe I didn't get it right.

Traverse around the whole rock from the south to the north via the west face. Just one little section of actual climbing which is a steep little boulder, the rest is relatively easy. The start is a little overgrown but it's not a problem.

Easy start to the good ledge, then to a good jam in the short crack on the right. But that crack fades immediately into nothingness. There's one decent hold to the right of it but that's more or less it. Tried a few times to get to the next bolt, to no avail. Aided up to the summit. Either a few holds broke, or this was never climbed for the grade. Could also be that the grade was given before the route in the middle of the face was bolted (which is also supposed to be 8-) and it was climbed far left of the pitons.

Viel zu schwach.
