Greg's feeling mostly better after his fun with COVID19 and the forecast is good, so we opt to go do some climbing on good rock (to contrast with Greenland). It's been a while since we were at the Mattstock, and that's super fun climbing, so we opt for that.
Train, train, bus to Amden, chair lift up, and then the approach to the wall. Of course we get the last part of the approach wrong and end up doing more scrambling than is strictly necessary. On with the gear and climbing we go.
- Suedostwandplatte: 5a, 5a, 4a, 5a, 5a
- The first three pitches of Gimmi; 5a, 5b, 4c
Great climbing, the combination of Wasserrillen and slabby sections is just pure fun. The abseiling was efficient and clean; definitely a good day.
Gear note: this was the first climbing trip with our new Mammut 50m double ropes; the old ones were >10 years old, so we replaced them.
