Bubu & Berger - The end of silence

During the first days of last July, Mauro "Bubu" Bole and Harry Berger both climbed the route End of Silence in "rotpunkt" style. They made some tries on the days before. The route was opened by Huber-brothers on the Feuerhorn North Face (Reiteralm, Germany) in 1990. Thomas did the first free ascent in 1994, then Jorg Andreas did the first repeat in 1999 and finally Stefan Glowacz in 2002. The route has eleven pitches with difficulty of 7a+, 6c, 6a+, 6a, 7b+, 7c+, 7b, 8b, 8b+, 7c, 7a+. End of Silence still remains a point of reference and is one of the hardest routes in the world about this kind of climbing. Stay tuned for pictures!
