Begehungen in Weißmain-Alb von Daniel

Awesome layback climb, along all kinds of flakes. Unusual!

Once more to put up a toprope.

Ideal #warmup

The bolts were already in, and more importantly: there was a long sling in the anchor. I got cleanly to right before the reachy section (great so far). Had to rest, but it turned out to be quite doable for me. The only 8+ part seems to be the moves right before the anchor. Sweating in the sun and feeling like everything else in the route was more rewarding than this, I pulled myself up the sling

Strenuous boulder. I'd say 8-.

Tricky before the bulge, got some useful tips the other group here. 7+ feels appropriate to me

Scarily brittle to the first bolt, then it's actually a nice, yet short traverse below the rooflet.

Didn't enjoy this much. It's polished, the first bolt is awkwardly high, and it's just a couple of meters.

Didn't dare to try this before Christoph Rauch arrived with some additional protection. It was the right choice. Nice route!

Powerful bulge in the beginning, the rest is easier. Showed me how seriously out of shape I am. Fun though!

There is only one bolt, right below the anchor. I've climbed on some nuts placed by Christoph Rauch.

Powerful sequence through the overhang. I need to be fresher for this.

I later realized that I climbed this wrong, by starting from Schlafmütze instead of Geierwalli. Oops. Shouldn't change the difficulty much though.

Once more, to clean it

Tricky to figure out, and the start is a quite hard boulder problem. Funny pockets in the upper half. Grades vary between 7+ and 8-, but it feels like a clear 8- to me.

Very overhanging jugfest. Nice one!

Putting this down as 7 (not 7+), and even for that, it's rather easy (but maybe only if you're tall).

First bolt is a bit high up, but then it's a good dihedral followed by a short traverse, then wall climbing to the top.

Hard for the grade, but still appropriate.

So great!

What a ride!

Started with the first bolt clipped.
