Bügeleisen

A terrific slab climb that gets harder the higher you go. Originally given 5c+, the top pitch will feel very hard at this grade, and the bolts are not that close. (1) 5a. climb from the lowest point to a belay in the overlap. 30m (2) 5a follow the rightward trending crack line. 30m (3) 5c. Climb the slab with a hard move left to reach twin bolts. Continue past these to a belay next to a tree. 50m (4) 5c+. Climb the crack on the left, trending rightwards. 40m (5) 6a. Superb. Move up then slightly left to follow the smooth slab to its end. A bold and absorbing pitch. 50m. Descend by 4 abseils.
