“I first saw the wall when I did the first ascent of ‘Prime Time’ in the Repswand. There were lines on the left and on the right, but the central area was still untouched”. Peter, product manager at AUSTRIALPIN definitely never gets tired of bolting new routes and manages to always work his magic on rock. This time he had support: AUSTRIALPIN marketing manager Stephan joined him and together they realized their project “Zeugungsschmerz" in the Karwendel mountains, which promises absolute climbing pleasure. “It was the first time for me that I took part in a bolting project. The rock quality, the weather, the atmosphere, the panorama was/is just unbelievable and it really was incredibly fun.”
The approach starts at the parking space Schraffelbrücke in Scharnitz with a bike ride to the Hinterautal valley for the first 30 minutes and approximately 10km. Right underneath the slabs it takes another 15 minutes by foot to get to the entry points. Absolutely beautiful routes are waiting there and they are definitely also perfectly suitable for beginners who want to try their first multi-pitch routes. “Zeugungsschmerz” (“procreation pain”), “Schwere Geburt” (“difficult birth”), “X-Chromosom” and „Y-Chromosom“ are the names of the four new routes, the reason for the name choice is easy to explain: “The reason is that I just became a father for the second time, however, ‘Schwere Geburt’ (‘difficult birth’) got its name because we needed so many attempts for our second bolting/climbing day with this route. Something always happened that kept us from finishing this route.”
