Aufriss: short trousers, long crack

A brilliant crack route on the Wampeter Schrofen, entirely clean. The shorts were, in hindsight, a decision.

Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.

One of the best crack routes I’ve done. Entirely clean, everything placed, and the crack runs so continuously that you hardly have to think about where the next piece goes.

I was in shorts. On crack climbing that’s a decision you reconsider several times during the route and then make the same way again afterwards. It was a fun business — the knees look different.

Maxi and I moved through it pretty quickly. Some routes just fit.
