Germany sandstone… This one is a unique form of sandstone rock in Germany's low mountain range "Eifel". The town of "Nideggen" has a collection of numerous sandstone cliffs that have a high concentration of river rocks baked into the sandstone. Since many of the climbing sections are made up of more river rocks than actually sandstone – the look and style of climbing is unique. Germany's rock climbing icon "Wolfgang Güllich" in his earlier career once visited "Nideggen" and he compared the rock to climbing a vertical potato field ("vertikaler Kartoffelacker"). That description seems to be just right. Here on some good summer times Germany with first time rock climbers Peter, Thomas and Klemens.

Lead climbing in Joshua Tree National Park. This one is called "girdle crossing (5.10d). It is located in the "wonderland of rocks" area on the iconic formation named "freakdome brothers" – 3 with each other connected domes that stick out the beautiful desert landscape. Girdle crossing partially uses bolts of a more famous route called "I can't believe it's a girdle (5.10a). This one is unique in its appearance as it traverses for 3 long pitches along a "Dike" from left to right. Foot intense smearing along the rim of the roof is much characteristic for climbing in Joshua Tree. Season is almost over but this coming weekend we will still have great temps in the lower 70's. Get your climb on and see you out there.
