Too Hot Summer...

Hello everyone,

The last time, I couldn't climb very much. The most time I was bouldering on my free days at the Motel/Murgtal at the very early morning. At the Murgtal I couldn't tell you some new things. Oh well, I could climb the boulder Ommadawn-sit at the Steinbrächer-sector. It has some very nice holds, which are finely ground of the water.

Deep cold forest after dynoing

At the Motel I could climb 2 new Problems. One is called "Cold Forest", the other "Deep Cold Forest" which is a deeper version of "Cold Forest".
The boulders are both traverses on crimps and slopers. The "Cold Forest"-boulder has a nice movement, that I hadn't climb, yet. The deep version of it has a big dyno from a ledge left and a crimp right. (you can see me on the picture holding the hold with the right hand after the dyno). The deep version is a bit harder than the "normal" way. The normal way is something around 7A/+ and the deep version I think is around 7B+, maybe if it's not so hot, it could be easier...

Yesterday I was at the "Schattental"-Sector at Chironico with the hope it's not too hot there. Wrong, it was very hot... I nearly could climb "powerstrips" but my hand slipped off a little crimp there... Otherwise, we climbed a few easy things. At the later afternoon, we then went to the river and took a bath in it.

Some pictures of Mallorca

Hello everyone,

I'm at Mallorca - cala millor right now with my girlfriend.
Yesterday, we found a bouldering spot under a cave near our hotel. today we get there at the evening for some bouldering and establishing new lines. the rock there is really really sharp, but it's nice for the grip.
I had to improvise, because I have no bouldering pad here. Now I took a air-mat and the towels^^ Not really nice for my brain but it's better than nothing! ;)

Here are the pictures:
