Rittlerkante, just Hannes and me
A good route on the Bauernpredigtstuhl. The crux bit back, the rest went fine — and we rappelled the line.
Blue Moon: second time round
Turned back on the first attempt, got through on the second. The water-groove pitch was the highlight.
Südostgrat in trail-running shoes
Moving together over the Vordere Karlspitze. Rock shoes wouldn't have improved the day.
Opa Highway: unreasonably warm for February
A fine route on the Wilder Kaiser, in weather February had no business producing.
Kraftkamin: a short route after failing convincingly
Beaten the day before, thunderstorms forecast — the Kraftkamin was the right answer.
Dülfer on the Fleischbank east face
Second Pause route with Franzi, on the hottest day of the year. The traverses are superb.
Lucky Six: leading practice instead of the Dülfer
The real objective fell through on weather. An easy, well-protected route for Franzi to lead.
Herbstzeit: hard for the grade
A good route at Neufundland. Franzi wanted to lead, but the bolt spacing turned out fairly wide.
Sonnenpfeiler: entirely alone, wet in places
A very good long route on the Wilder Kaiser, with an entertaining A0 traverse.
Dreierweg: moving together up top
From the Gruttenhütte. Partly loose higher up, so we kept moving.
Kopftörlgrat: unroped
From the Gaudeamushütte, without a rope. Exactly the kind of day this ridge is for.
