Winklerturm: the Piaz variant instead of the Winkler crack
Second Vajolet tower of the day. The first pitch was fully bolted, after which it went back to normal.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
Second Vajolet tower of the day, after the Stabeler in the morning.
The first pitch was fully bolted — presumably it belongs to a different route starting there. After that the protection was back to standard, meaning old pitons and whatever you place yourself.
The Winkler crack didn’t look particularly appealing, so we took the Piaz variant instead. It’s very good and was clearly the right call.
The descent down the north side was interesting again. That appears to be standard on the Vajolet towers.
