Gelbe Kante: on the route just before seven

A superb route on the Tre Cime. The first belay is a hanging one for no good reason — there's a decent stance just above it.

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

On the route just before seven, after a pleasantly short walk in. A guide with clients arrived right behind us — on the Tre Cime, half an hour’s head start is worth a lot.

Superb route, and one of the classics that deserves the reputation.

One thing I noted for next time: the first belay is set up as a hanging stance even though there’s a good ledge immediately above it. Run the first pitch out slightly and you stand instead of hang, and start the second in a far better mood.
