Ascents in Europe by Philip

At the flash I thought it’s a soft 7a. Today as a warmup, it was quite pumpy

A bit too brittle but the climbing is nice. The middle section was pumpy, but maybe I messed up the sequence

Finally! I cheated a bit at the top and went more to the left than the last times, just to be sure I don’t mess it up after sticking the boulder

Hard, technical, crimpy boulder in the middle! Worked a solution, but it's quite low percentage. Prefered to try another route instead of giving this another shot.

Overall not bad. Felt harder than 7b+, but everything at 'Äscher' feels hard for the grade

Fell at the second to last bolt. Hard to read boulder section at the top. Until there some easier but still technical moves.

It's a nice one. But not enough time left for another try.

Only the first part as the warmup. Some nice climbing with a strange finish. Not easy for 6a+ or I need to climb more slabby stuff to get better footwork?

Two attempts where I fell after the crux moves. Then the power was gone…

But happy that it felt way better than last year 🥳

Uncomfortable start and then quite bouldery. Possible, but definitely needs some work from my side… maybe I prefer the combination of Dr Boulderer start and this finish (Boulderella)

Each crimp felt wet at the first try. Luckily they felt way better on the second. Happy to managed this route so quickly ☺️

Start holds felt so wet. The start is not easy!

Beta for all moves and a good 3rd try. But the holds got quite slippery already. Maybe next time

First try as warmup. But I climbed Hammerhai and the 6a already, so no onsight/flash. In my opinion harder than 7a because of the section at the anchor.

Well, quite easy today at the first go

No time left to work the whole route, because we had to be home for the kids.

Such a fingery boulder! Should be possible by optimizing the body positions. A bit too polished, but good training

Fell after the last draw on the Jug to Jug move 🤦 Forgot about the lower jug and made it quite hard.

But new highpoint and it felt quite solid, so at least good progress.

At the 3rd go, the wall was completely in the sun and way too hot.

Ui, pumpy and technical slab climbing. Found good solutions for each section on the first try, but not enough juice and skin left at the second. Overall it felt quite hard for 7c, or I just have to work on my footwork

Nice technical climbing. Didn't see some holds in the onsight. Quite easy on the second go.

Not the easiest 5c+

First go went so good and then I messed up the feet again 🙈 In all other gos where way too much sun on the wall for the slope crux section. Always fell at the same hold. Maybe I should wait for cooler, less sunny days

Tried it once, but still I don't get the initial crux. High feet and undercling crimp feel way too insecure. Also, with my solution for the last crux, I can't clip the last draw

Moved to 'Thai City' instead.

So close second go. Fell at the last noteworthy move because I couldn't remember where to place my feet. In the 3rd go, there was way too much sun.

Really nice and technical route. Next time, hopefully with less sun and without a cut in my left index finger

Pumpy first half, then easier

Boulderstart dann unschöne Platte

Technical and crimpy boulder in the middle

Evtl. nochmal mit mehr Haut

Nearly messed it up two times...

Only to the first anchor

Painful start then technical. Nice, but not in the sun 🥵
