Lucky Six: leading practice instead of the Dülfer
The real objective fell through on weather. An easy, well-protected route for Franzi to lead.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
The plan had been the Dülfer on the Fleischbank east face. The weather didn’t hold up, and you don’t set off on a route that long with a doubtful forecast.
So something easy and well protected instead, where Franzi could practise leading.
That’s the best way to salvage a ruined plan: find a route where the day gets a different objective. Not the face, the practice.
It worked — the Dülfer came a month later.
