About Ith-Holzen:
| Holzen is second to Luerdissen for most popular climbing area of Ith. It has 13 crags of limestone, offering several hundred routes, with good climbing spread across the grades. The cliffs get much more sunlight than those of Luerdissen (mostly SW facing), allowing the rocks to dry out faster after a rainfall. The first 5.12 in northern Germany was climbed here in 1981 (Schulterweg, 5.12b, on the Drachenwand, climbed by M.Sykora). |
