The actual plan for this day was to climb two of our projects in the Palatinate – both 8a+. First Markus and I drove to the project of Markus: Reeperbahn at the Rappenfels. I’m not sure what went wrong this day, but we didn’t felt well in this route. Maybe it was two warm, some…
After two years I returned to the Nonnenfels to try Mekka again and to look whether I felt better now. And it did – for the very first time I could do the crux move and checked out the upper part. But I needed about 15 tries to stick the dyno one time. We hadn’t…
