A few buildering photos

I thought I'd link these buildering pics I posted in my journal a while back. My climbing guide lists this beautiful sandstone wall on the shore of the river Ruhr as a prime buildering spot. The stone has really nice grip and the holds are crimpy but quite versatile. The entire traverse is about 200 meters long, and rates about UIAA 7... it's pretty challenging and won't get boring quickly. I've climbed there only once so far and tackled only the first few meters of the traverse; I definitely want to go there again.



(If you're ever in the area: the name of the spot is Mendener Brücke.)

You are a dangerous person. (grin)

She's right. Truly, this is the pathway that leads to the dark side buying bouldering mats. Or plotting sneaky traverses. *g*
