Fehrmann on the Stabelerturm: finding the belay first
After some initial hunting for the stance, very good — and we had it to ourselves.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
The first pitch is a bit over thirty metres, and the belay isn’t where you assume it is. We spent a while looking for it — that’s the moment where you briefly doubt whether you’re on the right thing at all.
We were. From there it ran.
Very good route, and we had it entirely to ourselves, which on the Vajolet towers in August is not a given.
The descent down the north side with multiple rappels was interesting. You look down several times and wonder whether that’s really the way.
