9c statt Gold: Megos im Kletter-Olymp

Some impressions from past weekends Pitz Alpine Glacier Trail 🙌🏼 As it was the first real trail race after Corona, it was a lot of extra regulations and probably ton of extra-work, but the organizers did extremely well! Despite keeping distance and wearing masks, the atmosphere was pretty awesome 🥳 Who wants to complain when he can run in such beautiful surrounding? 📸: Lumix Deutschland SR1

Today I went scrambling at Lover’s Leap for the first time in quite a while. It’s always a pleasure to revisit the Leap since it’s where I did all my first solos many years ago. I’m turning 35 next week (whoa!) and I’ve been considering doing a birthday challenge of some kind. When I turned 29 I was in Squamish and did 290 pitches in a day - I’ve been toying with the idea of trying to do 350 in a day at the Leap. Possibly as some kind of climb-a-thon fundraiser for the @honnoldfoundation or something. So today was a bit of a scout to see if it’s feasible. I went up and down most of the routes on the East Wall and felt like I was climbing well but I think the pitches are just too long and physical to climb fast enough, plus 350 would require climbing every route at the Leap multiple times. But I really enjoyed the climbing, and I enjoyed passing @sannimccandless and @courtsanford multiple times as they enjoyed Bear’s Reach and Hogsback. Maybe the real lesson is that as I turn 35 I’m more content with a great morning of scrambling and good company... But I’m still open to good birthday challenge ideas...
