Eisenlehnfall: the upper section wasn't on
Nominally WI5-, but the ice up top wasn't climbable. Franzi led.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
The Eisenlehnfall is given WI5- in the guidebook. On ice, though, what you actually climb depends less on the guidebook than on the day.
The upper section simply wasn’t in condition — no ice you could sensibly get a tool into. So we left it at what did go, and that was considerably easier than the catalogue grade.
Franzi led. Leading on ice is a different step from leading on rock: you’re placing screws while standing on front points, and you can’t just take a rest.
