Ascents in Klus - Balsthal

after a tricky traverse and the roof is a really hard slab part

schwieriger Anfang, wenn man gerade aus geht, links haltend einfacher. Dannach pumpy entlang eines guten risses.

Stay on the left of the route, on the right the rocks are quite loose

Sehr coole Route, aber sehr harter Einstieg für den grad. Ab dem 3. Express wirds dann wieder besser😅

Climbed this as a direct extension of Fury. Went well until I fell, pumped out of my mind, at the end of the diagonal roof. Had to take one more time at the last bolt. Great route but hard to onsight and requiring bicep power endurance.

Somebody should bring a knife and cut out many of the super old slings in the route. They are not to be trusted and unnecessary anyway as the bolting is good.

Ladder-like until you have to scale the overhang, one hard move there. Uninteresting.

Started with this, quite nice. Bolt spacing gets longer towards the top but the climbing always resolves into easy moves.

Really good. Some slabby moves if you stay very true to the bolt line.

Very nice route. Some sweet limestone edges and jugs. Start is a bit dirty and crumbly.

Unfortunately I found this very dusty, dirty and crumbly, and with questionable rock in the beginning.

The 6b+ next to it felt significantly easyer

Very very nice. Technical, smeary, uncomfortable in the beginning, then compression/laybacking afterwards. Great climbing. 6a in the 2017 Plaisir Jura, which I find accurate.

Super nice! Quite sandy, though, and much loose stuff around the last bolt, though, could be cleaned a bit more to be safe.

Repeat. Three pistol squats, then friction to overcome the mini-roof. Easy to the top afterwards.

Very hard for the grade. Some loose stuff in the crumbly yellow-orange zone!

Crux at the mini-roof.

Repeat, in approachies, as a cooldown.
