Morsbach with Barbara

Published on 2018-5-21 by Michael Stanton

Barbara and I climbed at Morsbach. It's hard to be absolutely certain, but we think we climbed:

• Nobody (4+) - I believe this was our first climb.
• Mini-Flipp (6+) - I only top-roped this.
• Dreierweg (3+) - with the ending "Direkt zur Terrasse (6-)". But Barbara chose the ending "Zustieg zur Terrasse (4)."
• Max (5+) - really nice route on the far right side of the climbing area. This was good training for me and Barbara both.
• Unnamed (6-) - it's the route just right of Fingerbeisser (7+), and according to Markus, it should be called Mug. In a guidebook I have, the name Mug is given to what should be the "Via Angela Direkt (5-)." Quite confusing! Anyway, this route is very good, but quite hard, especially as it's got some real polish on a few footholds you wish didn't have it. Barbara top-roped this as a great learning project.
• "Via Angela (4+)" - really nice climb. Barbara top-roped it twice, as she was confused at the beautiful overhang...it was hard to find the fantastic grips on the top of it!

I wish we could have stayed longer...this place is fantastic...
