After some time Im writting again and I have quite some stuff to share with ya all!
I like this next sentence and everything that comes along with it: i've been climbing outside a bunch and it's been great!
In local crag Čreta,now some time ago,I did Ledena doba 2(ice age 2) mentioned in the previous blog post,its graded 8b+ and it's a really nice route that has only seen three ascents I think,and for the grade that it has, it's not hard and nicely climbable. So don't freak out when you see it,cuz its really long it might look a bit "oooh no,no way" but the reallity of it is very different ;)
Cuz I wasn't really into anything in home crags,not full heartedly at least,I was really excited when Kruder said that we will go to Zigoinerloch in Avstria.
A huge overhanging crag of Zigoner!
Routes there are nice,a bit polished compared to home crags but still very good to climb on. In my first visit I tryed to onsight a route called Zigoinerbaron,the first Avstrian 8b from the year 1988. It's a massive route,35m long and very overhanging. Got up half the way, got pumped out of my mind haha:) But jumping from the top and landing only 4m above the ground in the tree tops, thanks to "perfect" calculation of Mr.Kruder,made it a fun experience:)
That day I managed to climb Stalker,a short crimpy 8b route.
Crag has kind of a cave look and thats probably the reason for the actions Kruder and me did. Primal instincts kicked in and we were no longer Homo Sapiens Sapiens,more like Homo Neandertalus:)
Hunters and gatherers,as first people were,we became hunters(gathering is for pussyes) :)! Our prey,the always dangerous and super fast,moving at an astonishing speed of 0.048km/h,
snails!:D
We gathered 40 of them and putted them into a biiig snail orgy:P
Excercise is important...
and so is butt sniffing :D
Second time in Zigoiner,Zigoinerbaron second go-no pumping sensation this time:)
Second visit of the crag was more productive than the first(of what climbing is concerned) because I climbed one 8a+ and 8b and also tryed Public enemy,the hardest climbed route in the crag of which the grade is around 8c/c+ but more on the 8c side I think. Feels very possible for sure,but colder temps are needed! Kruder did one 8c and it look ed effortless despite he saying that he got pumped:P
Third visit was a mixture of success,failure and unfortunetly some rocks braking, Izi falling, rock hitting him in the head, missing Kruder for half a meter.
I climbed one 8a and one 8a+,tryed Public enemy and another 8b+ and daaang I fell on the last hard move,next time...:)
In the end everything was OK,just Izi became a bit more ginger because of bloody hair:P
Izi: take a photo,I wanna have a memory about this,in case I don't die :)
Work less climb more! :D
See ya at the crags!
