Life is beautiful...

Perfection...simplicity...solitude...purity...moments in time...of of those was captured without my knowledge last Saturday at a secret crag somewhere in the Bavarian Alps...thanks Daniel for the photo!

A little Zillertal chronicle...

I just got back from an epic day of Zillertal craggin...here´s a little chronicle

11.00 am: arrival in Ginzling, after a short discussion where to go, Mascht and Dad depart direction Bergstation...it´s soloing/doing easy routes with Vroni for me and Rambo...
12.00 : packing up, heading direction Bachhexe roof...hangdogging No Name (5.12a/b) and dispatching it second go, Rambo screws up first go on account of tooth ache...
12.30 pm: hangdogging Bachhexe to remember the sequence, Rambo´s tooth ache is throbbing...
1.00 pm: Rambo sends No Name and almost cries from pain afterwards, one go in Bachhexe, fucking pump! Vroni working her tan and building a dam...
1.30 pm: cleaning No Name, Rambo is in pain and can´t do it...
1.55 pm: asking for painkillers at the Karlsteg Inn...after a cup of coffee, we receive two "these are bad ass, don´t drink something alcoholic or you´re done" tablets...
2.00 pm: driving back to Ginzling, walking up to the Guava Yelly roof...
2.22 pm: realization that Guava Yelly won´t be possible with one pad...flashing the two neighboring problems about V3...time for a snack...Rambo´s medication is not taking effect...
2.45 pm: starting the hike up to Bergstation...
3.00 pm: first tier, neither Mascht or Dad present, beginning of hike direction tier two...
3.12 pm: second tier, badass routes, no time to test them though, calls have confirmed that Mascht and Dad are at the upper, final and rightmost tier...
3.13 pm: start of hike towards tier 3, bushwhacking time...
3.15 pm: killing a tick, take that bastard!
3.24 pm: arrival at the third and final tier, Mascht is done after working his 5.14ish project, Rambo´s toothache is getting better, the meds seem to take effect...
3.34 pm: decision to go down and get on the way home, it´s starting to drizzle...
3.56 pm: arrival at the car, after waiting at the one way tunnel for 16 mins, direction home...
4.24 pm: the meds are doing a great job, Rambo is back and playing pranks on Mascht who wants to sleep, Mascht increasingly pissed...
5.23 pm: Rambo tells memorable story of how he once almost choked an ostrich after being pecked by it...for your info: the ostrich survived the attack...
6.00 pm: arrival in Schleching...
6.12 pm: arrival at home, a very generous and modest Mascht asks for only 5 bucks of gas money...

What a day...

Frankenjura, here I come...

I´m off to the paradise of pockets, overhanging limestone and gymnastic climbing tomorrow in the early morning...that´s good. I´ve been getting quite some quality cragging as of late, with a Zillertal trip last Sunday during which I managed my first 7b onsight on Granite. Cool one!

So far there haven´t been any pics and I don´t know if there will be any this coming weekend...

I´ll however continue to climb as much as possible and as hard as possible since it´s all preperation for the ultimate goal, that is Bar Bitturique...as for my goals this weekend, doing "Saftfeld" would be nice and actually keep me from making this one, due to it´s heartbreaker crux at the end, my personal FRFM...

We´ll see...

Out!
