Aufriss: short trousers, long crack
A brilliant crack route on the Wampeter Schrofen, entirely clean. The shorts were, in hindsight, a decision.
In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft: clean and alone
A dream granite route at Wintertraum, entirely clean, great cracks and complete solitude.
Gandalf straight after Gollum
Second route of the day, same rock, same weather. One of the best days of the Norway trip.
Gollum: perfect rock, perfect weather
One of the best days of the Norway trip — 105 metres of cracks, entirely clean.
Eidetind, day two: practising belays
An easy line the day after the first route. Franzi led it.
Eidetind: the start of the Norway trip
We got on the wrong line first, which was grim. After that: entirely clean and very good.
Haselburger Riss: the 7+ was exciting
Entirely clean near Bolzano. Dirty first pitch, and the 7+ takes poor protection.
Vinatzer on the Third Sella Tower: busy, and a lot of waiting
A very good route, mostly clean protection — and two very slow Englishmen ahead of us, who turned out to be good company.
Alte Südwestkante: one pitch of 6-, easier otherwise
A clean route on the Steinplatte. Very good.
Via del Calice: 13 hours car to car
14 pitches, all on gear, and a party ahead of us. Then we got the descent wrong.
