Ascents in Glarner Alpen as Red point by Andreas Aachen

Engaging climbing on stellar rock quality, where body positioning and esp. good footwork are key.

As always in Gäsi, seems tricky until you understand what needs to be done

The crossover / fall into the right hand sidepull is such an outrageous and unlikely move...Super cool when it comes together.

Not physically hard, but good body tension is key.

A fun journey this one.

Rapped over it last year to clean it thinking it was Dschungelpfad. Now it turned out, the SAC Glanerland guidebook has this one and its neighbor confused, and this was the old project (I guess now, in hindsight, it makes sense why the grade was no-where near the suggested 7a 😉)

Removed the trees, cleaned the route, and added the missing bolt and anchor. It’s actually really nice to climb.

A bit of a puzzling crux down low (at least for me) where you do about 6 moves without gaining any height (but might be easier/ different if you can reach a bit higher from the ramp). Middle part is fun climbing and then another tricky section around the last bolt, with the typical Gäsi Shenanigans.

Grade needs confirmation.

Brilliant climb, the best at Trollfels imho. stacked little boulder problems interrupted by descent rests.

Felt hard today in tropical conditions.

nice technical route, not too hard with the right sequence.

Messed up the onsight at the last hard bit, but was a really cool fight. Classic Route.

A bit contrived. But once you accepted to go straight over the bolts and dont use the good stuff on the left its actually the better line! Still more 7c+ I think

I can stop bashing my head against the wall now

Sensorium in itself is already a classic, and this extension makes it even better. Hard to get established to the first bolt, then some fun resistance climbing to the crux...Its all about arriving with enough energy at those slimpers...

In order to send this I had to have Sensorium so dialed, that I could do it as a warm-up; and ended up sending Sensorium 3 times in one day

Nice route! Longest at the crag.

Not as good as other routes on this wall but has some cool sequences. Unfortunately, its always a bit dirty which makes the footholds very slippery.

Remember that I found this quite hard at the end of the day.

Today it went down quite smoothly while putting up the draws and not really knowing what to do. So I guess it's 7b after all. Very cool climb.

Brilliant 44m of climbing with the crux at almost 40m height.

For me this felt a tad harder than grau gnom or sensorium but might be easier if you have longer legs or, even better, are more flexible than I am.

Another Gäsi classic; long with really nice sequences...essentially 3 7b+ on top of each other.

Very close to ticking the extension as well.

Nice!!! It's a 5m power endurance problem but the rest of the climb is still very cool!

Felt impossible last time when i was tired; felt okay for the grade as a warm-up.

Some cool moves, but quite dirty and some very scetchy feet on 45° slopers.

Yes!

Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me, I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me =)

Put my draws in a bit over a year ago and now (after a total of 8 days over the last year) I can finally put this to rest! Classic line. My first of the grade

Half a move off the onsight. Cool route!

Soft but fun =). Nicely spaced bolts ;-)

Cleaning up an old dog.

Super cool route, basically as good as grau gnom, just a bit shorter. The bouldery start (first 5 draws) Ended up being the crux for me. But lots of places where you can fall off, even after the no hands rest. (3rd go)

A victory for the small ones =). Maybe a tad hard for the grade, but a classic line either way.

...nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu....

Send this while sabrina was bitten by an ant which fell into her EYE!

.....what a weird day.

First grade 30...a bit of an aussie milestone =)

This is another very cool Gäsi line. A bit morpho / surely will be easier with larger wingspan, i.e. if you can span from one good sidepull to the other or go directly from undercling to the good undercling. For me, with all the moves I had to add in between on those sub-optimal holds this felt like a real step up from the 8a's / full value for the grade; thus the name holds true "El Valor" .

Ended up with some really cool sequences featuring upside down gastons, heel- and toe-hooks, pushing into slopy corners and of course, all in combination with a lot of sidepulls! Very happy with the send

This time as a warm-up...still had to fight a lot more than I'd anticipated.

Varied climbing with multiple cruxy sections and shake outs in between; needs a broad skill set.

Finally vaccinated =)

Tough nut.

Did the right variant in the middle section which overall makes for a nice climb. just a bit dirty in the first few meters.

The top crux needs a bit of commitment.

Boulder start, crimpy middle section and boulder finish. Gotta get those twitchy fibers running...

Left the first two clipped as the feet are super slippery around the second bolt.

Another great Gäsi line! Boulder crux section down low and then mind bending Gäsi-shenanigans to the top; Love it.

Def. not 7c+, prob. even soft for 7c?!

Had to do a bit of cleaning on the way to the anchor but very nice line with some cool moves.

40+m of awesome but continuously challenging climbing. So many cool sequences, kinda fries your brain.

Gäsi is the gift that keeps on giving...

Cool line; 7b+ with my height I reckon (as written in the guidebook)

Last few moves in common with 7a. Extension is better than the 6a+!

Is it more listening or telling?!?

A bit of a omw. The extension is cool but was wet in the upper half.

Mikes new route.

Anna's new route, straight after her first ascent. Tough start and a tricky section half way up.
