Il n'y a d'horreur que dans le nom, 7b+, Gorges du Tarn. Who came up with this name!?! $#!%#* Got myself a huge flapper on this route (left hand pocket in the picture) both visits to the Gorges du Tarn (same pocket both times!). Effin painfull one as well.
Juppenspitze (2412m), Lechtaler Alpen im Arlberg, Österreich. Skitour mit Splitboard. I'm the one in the picture having a little trouble with my balance...
Me on 'Souvenir de bleau' (if I'm not mistaken). I.m.h.o one of the nicest routes in the Gorges du Tarn. Beautiful position, with lovely autumn colors in the background (not that you can see them...). If only I lived closer!
Trying a route in Geyik Bayiri.
Some refreshing steepness for aching calves. A steeper pitch to break the (relative) monotony of the slabclimbing in Handegg (route = Eile mit Keile, slightly less attractive then its neighbour Siebenschläfer).
Nice exposed roof with jugs ahead (6b+/6c-ish). Easy climbing despite the backpack pulling me down a bit. Lovely and well equiped climb on the Castelletto di Tofana (route is called Pacchia).
Lovely easy slab climbing on the upper part of the Vinatzer/Messner on the Marmolada South Face. Tempi Moderni goes up through the slab on the left. Felt intimidated by the wall at first, but the climbing turned out to be relatively easy, especially on the upper (Messner) part. The Vinatzer part was quite difficult (for a classic route from 1936!) on the other hand. I'll be back!
Har on top of Innerkoflerturm after climbing Via del Calice, Dolomiti. Thanks you 5.10 for making the Tennies. Love 'm for climbing long routes!
