| Hocus Pocus (3a) | Probably to most interesting and hardest 3 I have ever done. It is mentioned as trad in the guidebook but do not forget you bolt plates, but leave big trad gear behind. Follow the recommendation of the book to do it in 2 pitches. I did not and I had hard times, first of all I have just 5 boltplates and even if I would have had more I always climbed down to get the lower one out to reduce rope drag. On top it felt like a truck is pulling me down. 60 m rope are just slightly enough to build anchors with 2 trees and a numer one cam. I was so psyched...but that was not the end. The rap down was dangerous like hell or at least to climb down to the chains required downclimbing in grade 4 UIAA without pro. Cheers guys for an intersting end of a day ;) |
