In reply to: In reply to: cory, you got it, it has been growing (although very slowly :oops: )! now i also am a proud owner of the BD purple cam - and maybe yellow if i find it somewhere in this sport country... my eyes are dutifully set on comici on the grande's north face and ghedina on tofana :D You should know!!!! btw, did you get tropicana - i glimpsed some pictures of you on the ledge there lately :wink: :?: Nice dude! You can descend the Standard Route on Cime Grande, no? Also, the Ghedina route looks awesome! (Have fun!) Ummm, I finished Tropicana, but my out of shape ass hangdogged the hell out of it. :oops:
In the interest of full disclosure, I would like it to be known that Cory flashed the first pitch - a very tricky sequence.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled Euro-Talk.
GO

Hi Tisar,
Do You have any experience with Sandstone? Do You know how to make the Kinderkopf knot big as Hex11? Are You Sweatyfinger :D ?
I´ll in the Bergell in the mid of August, but the Early Autumn is probably better, isnt so hot and Sandstone Rule is No Chalk.
However, im for every fun,what´s Your plan for this Weekend?

As I said, I was there last year. You won't miss the chalk in the long run, the stone eats sweat...
I know how tho make the Kinderkopf, but I couldn't possibly think of a situation, you are likely to use it. Check this link, I did a little research on the topic.
Problem with Germany is the freaking weather you never know what to expect from :? But sure, September might be a good time to go there. I'm close by, so I'm flexible anyway :D
This weekend? Slackline, sound of guitars, severe drunkness, sex, sleep, sex, slackline, soccer, severe drunkness, sex, sleep, sex, sofa, sleep. Too freakin' hot for climbing... :D

YOOHOOO!!
We spent a nice week in Valle del Orco... well... except for the DAILY thunderstorms. So no really long routes. "Some people" even got to climb part of Fessura della Disperazione :shock:
Apart from that we worked on cracks, and practiced rapelling in the rain ;)
Everyone else doing good?

Some "other people" decided that they didn't WANT to climb the Fessura on Saturday. :-)
Off-widths cause second day soreness. Ouch!!!!

Now, that sounds great! (Though I don't get the point, why we dumb climbers count all-day soreness as a sign of success. Really. Is it kind of a brain defect? Is it some hidden trauma in our childhood? Didn't we get beat up enough when we were young? Who knows... and damn, who wantsto know?)
I'm really jealous! I'm so fed up with climbing concrete that I almost quit it completely. A little traversing in the park is all what's left. Just enough not to get totally outa shape. And the slackline for sure :D
And folks, I swear, you never had such a weird soreness :shock: Some totally random and former unknown parts of my body scream hell right now. I bet there weren't muscles before I started and those just grew to hurt me! :?
But most of the time I manage to walk that damn line in full length now, and in 2 outa 10 attempts I don't fall of like an electroshocked washrag when I try to turn around. Call me an artiste :D
Some more nice climbing for you! Enjoy the season!
- Daniel

WOW :shock: That's almost 1500 posts in one single year... one could get the impression that Europeans are lazy SOBs with a tendency to waste their time on the internet. But sure this impresson is dead wrong... :lol:

In the Karlovy Vary, above the city by Jeleni skok Viev, some 19 bolted routes cca 15 -20m high 6a to 7a+.No climbing guide available (yet :wink: ) hidden in the forrest (or park)
3km West from KV are Svatošské skály, cca200 routes from 4 to 7b+, mostly towers, bolted, some friends and nuts are good to have, ca 50m high. Guide available on www.lezec.cz.
Thats my Home :D
Or- by the road to Praha near Lubenec KapucÃnské skály (Ležky), not so high, but better rock, very solid, bigger crystals.Rocks are visible from road.Above village are lot of fine boulders hidden in the forrest.Water suply, cheap beer and real czech villager´s in the village :D . Lot of Sun in the summer (bad), fast dry in autumn (good).
Anotherones- Near Petrohrad (still on route to Prag) fine granite available in the woods, routes to 20m high, some real hard (9 Metronom ) AND Huge amount of BOULDERS- best bouldering area in CZ.See www.jesenickekameny.cz
In Petrohrad are some funny crackˇs (sector Yosemite) for You Heiko :wink: .Pretty wide 4+UIAA but You will be VERY surprised. No Pub in Village, but near is pizzeria (near is 3km hike).
Wow, i want to go IN outdoor, i want go OUT from outdoor shop!

Sounds great fun, Tom (bwahahaha). That might tease me to come over once. Not far anyway... maybe 4 hours by car or so...
Now, we got something to celebrate! Today one year ago girldrifter (now booger, aka Taz) gave birth to a child, which grew up fast and furious to be one of the greatest climbing buddies of Europe:
Happy birthday EuroFreaks thread!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!
Joyeux anniversaire !
Tillykke med fodselsdagen!
Buon Compleanno!
Gelukkige verjaardag!
Grattis på födelsedagen!
Feliz Cumpleaños!
Vse najboljse za rojstni dan!
Off to the next year and another 1500 posts, 100 pages, 2 official and countless inofficial gatherings we go... :D

In reply to: Hey Tisar- You have Highway almost all the way from Berlin, You can be here fast.
Unfortunatly they don't allow me to use the highway with my high speed dutch bike, which is the closest I get to having a car. It's train or plane all the way, but still it should be easy to get there.

Now, I do own an ATC, but I still might jump off at Hudy's... been there before and the harnesses are pretty good for the price! For the Gartenzwerg (gips dwarf, garden gnome)... I had one, but he obviously didn't like it at my home :twisted:
