As I already hinted in my previous post "Climbing in the realm of Shogun", I have a new passion: Besides difficult projects, I now want to find, clean and evaluate new routes. What excites me so much about it? Discovering the most beautiful line myself and finding out if it is possible or not. Another important thing for me is that I can give the route a name myself and determine the degree of difficulty.

Why I chose a certain route, I am often asked. The reasons for considering a new challenge are actually always the same. On the one hand, it is of course important how many times this route has already been climbed and, on the other hand, by whom. For example, if I know that Alex Megos has done this challenge, I can draw good conclusions about how demanding the route really is.

C'est le retour de la saison des asperges, et que seraient les asperges sans le vin ...

There has been a lot of movement in the wine world in recent years, especially marketing is playing an increasingly important role. If you go through the shelves of the shops, you find more and more fancy labels, bottles in every shape, fantasy names, there is nothing that doesn't exist. I am of the opinion that "classics never die", and one classic I would like to introduce to you today :

Im Jahr 2017 zog es mich zum Klettern nach Südnorwegen, genauer gesagt in die Regionen Nissedal und Setesdal bis nach Bergen.
Bei meinen Recherchen im Vorfeld fand ich einen sehr ausführlichen Kletterführer über das Setesdal "Setesdal Klettern in Südnorwegen" und den Kletterführer "Ga Telemark", in dem viele Gebiete rund um das Nissedal, das Fyresdal und das Haegefjell beschrieben wurden.
