The last day of our 2012 iceclimbing trip.. But a Good day.
After waking up having no motivation what so ever. Sore muscles and being really stiff we decided to go to Ueschinen any way. Being sure to regret having a rest day when back home.
So skiing up took foorreeever.. So we arrived at 12 a clock.
Not too much time to climb. Marianne dived straight oin To the Twin towers..
Working out all the moves climbing it in 3 sections.
I was watching really close. When she worked out all the moves it was my turn.
Not being warmed up it was so nice to move in to the freehanging in the middle of the roof to get a rest.
From here its “only” 4 hard moves in to the next overhanging ice. I found the hooks first try made some big dynamic moves and found myself in the curtain on the end of the roof. I climbed the icicle careful being scared to waist my Flash attempet. YES made it. First M10 flash.
After that it was Marianne, a lot of pressure on her.. Because I flashed the route she “had” to climb it in the second go. The first part to the first pillar with a big move into the ice she climbed nicely. Having a good rest in the middle. But here the nurves kicked in. From the freehanging to the next little “torque” ledge she couldn’t find the good spot. To figure of four from. So she moved back.
This repeated until Marianne was really nervous and totally frustrated hanging arms shaking in the middle section of the route. She tried to move in to the figure of four again. This time to find it kind of stable. Feeling confident enough she moved to the next hold a long reach from the figure of four. Then she get a very bad pump.. hanging there over 10 Min shaking one arm then the other.. To find some energy.. but there was none for this big move.. knowing that an other figure of four was going to be to much. She finally found some small hold in between. moved up found the next hold screaming and swearing…and made it to the last icicle and climbed the last ice to the top a 45 Min battle for her especially a mind battle..
