Somehow we've never climbed at the Falkenflue... weird considering how close it is and how easy the approach is.
So: train to Duggingen, the short hike up, find the sector Amboss, and then climb.
We start with the route Pfeiler (5c). A starts, decides her head isn't in it yet, so G leads it and then A top ropes. Nice climbing
Next is Feirabendriss (5c). G leads, A does top rope. Nicely varied climbing with a somewhat scary layback section in the middle (it seems like the feet aren't very good, but they are good enough).
Since we had the top rope set up, we both tried the adjacent Nirwana (6a), which is along a cool crack, but we didn't manage to get more than about halfway up. Need to practice some techique to do this one.
General comment: the routes feel harder (significantly harder) than the grades in the SAC guide, but the rock was quite good, the crag is super close, and there are *lots* of routes. Must go back
