Balisto: a dream route on the Geiselstein
Very long pitches on mostly solid rock. Bus in, then an hour uphill.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
A dream route. The pitches are very long, which changes the character — you don’t climb in small helpings, you get proper time on the wall before the next belay arrives.
The rock is mostly solid, which on the Geiselstein is not a given.
The approach, by bus plus an hour uphill, is relatively long but pleasant. You arrive gradually instead of jumping straight from the car onto the wall.
One of the routes I’d do again tomorrow.
