Grand Capucin: the Swiss Route with an O Sole Mio finish
A classic combination on the Grand Capucin — superb granite above the Vallée Blanche.
Kristall: slabs low down, a dream crack in the middle
By now we were properly dialled into the granite. Great weather, good climbing.
Schwarzgold: two pitches and done
The hardest route in the area. We did the first two pitches and left it there.
Kleines Kamel: the one from the advert
An interesting tower at the Furka, entirely to ourselves. The thunderstorm arrived in the afternoon.
FamGni: there is a bench on the summit
A good tower on the Hannibalturm, full south side, brutally warm. We took the traverse instead of the 7a+ on A0.
Sorgechind: Franzi's first granite
Warm-up route for the Furka weekend. Perfect granite, perfect weather, and relearning friction from scratch.
Kommt Zeit kommt Rat: every pitch a dream
The bolted route at Wintertraum near Naturns. Alone again, and outstanding again.
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.
Fontana di Giovinezza: rappelled after three pitches
Brutally hot in Samolaco. Good friction climbing, but at some point that's enough.
