after a nice climbing Friday with Mario and Christian today i returned for an old project with Manuel....

Sonne Hinter dem Nebel ( 7a+/b, 300m - 10 pitches - Alexandra and Matthias Robl 2007)
(6a+, 6a+, 6a+, 6b, 7a+/7b, 6c+/7a, 6a+, 6b, 6a, 7a)
the routes was the last complete route made by Matthias before his deadly accident due to a falling rock apparently cutting the rope Matthias was hanging in while setting up a nearby new route (the nowadays im memoriam Matthias)
it is a slab and nice aerial climbing up to a series of nice roofy movements which characterize the crux of the 5th pitch...

with Manu we took it easy today and walked in pretty late to avoid the fhön of the Inn Valley and the cold, we then freed and onsighted the first 4 pitches and sorted out the crux movements.
then looked at the clock 2pm.... well with half the routes above us and the option to rappel in the dark we call it a day and got back to the car around 4:30 pm, not without implementing our cleaning skills while dislodging huge dangerous blocks and rappelling the overhangs with the sun falling off the wall...
will be back for the integral free next spring.

PS. the slab climbing was great with nowdays temperatures...some of slab movement in the 6b ish area might be tricky in a hot summer day...
