mithralprow-pitch1-2

Jonas disappearing over the edge of the overhang, not to be heard for a while: the river is rather noisy, so you have to communicate via rope signals from here on. He’s got about another 3 moves to the belay station for pitch 2. - The picture was taken on our first attempt where we had decided to abseil from the belay station. Pitch II (grade 20 or UIAAA 6+) - which is another 25 meters and 9 bolts - starts out quite tricky on an exposed section with some loose rock, then gets easier, and kicks in again on the last 2 moves where the grips get rather small. Better forget about the 50+ meters you’re at at that stage ...
