Awkward moves.

Again a easy start. Be careful until the yellow belly, there might be lose rock.

3/4 of the route are quite easy. Then there follows technical and crimpy face climbing at small holes. To hard for me.

What a bummer. I missed the great side hold on the crux of the 3rd pitch and then fucked up. But the route is awesome. Arete climbing at a lofty height.

Stressful #cooldown, the visibility was already a bit bad due to the twilight and I was really exhausted. The polished areas and the runouts were no longer a pleasure in this condition.

Way to hard for me. First crux already between 2nd and 3rd bolt. Fell off several times because I'm just not able or I was to pumped to hold the pinch. Then there is a very loose part below the overhung. Great overhung but again to much for me. Aborted after I aided the overhung to retrieve the last quick-draw

Great route that rewards you if you make it through the lower choss. Great but loose overhang section that is followed by quite technical and reachy section. To the anchor with lovely jugs.

Didn't find the solution to the technical part.

Wow, almost failed because I messed up the feet. Left lots of power but did it.

Hang dog I think. Needed some tries to figure out how to reach the second bolt and didn't lower down before I managed it. Unfortunately the #lastrouteoftheday for me. Wasn't in the mood to rush the exit route during sunset without a head lamp. Note to myself, hiking the trail in east direction is very time consuming. Don't do it again and don't forget the head lamp next time.

Note to others: The direct descent trail from the Gebhardsberg parking lot was closed that day.

Awkward start at a off-width crack dihedral but you'll be rewarded if you manage it. Very sandy and lots of loose flakes.

So sandy and lots of loose flakes. Feared me uphill because of this and the bolt distance.

In one push with 'Schwarze Mamba'.

High left foot and bad crimp to hold on at the crux but worth the tries.

Danke Thomas Müller für die Tipps und die Demo.
