Climbing "Echo der Zeit" (8-) on the 1st Bandiarac Pillar is an experience that etches itself into your memory. The route is renowned for its sustained difficulty, requiring a blend of technical prowess, mental fortitude, and powerful movement. The rock is generally excellent, providing reassuring friction, but the crux sections demand precise footwork and committed reaches. Expect sustained sequences on small crimps and sidepulls, with limited opportunities for rests. The exposure adds to the intensity, particularly as you gain height and the valley floor recedes below. It's a climb that rewards dedication and perseverance, offering a sense of profound accomplishment upon reaching the summit. A true test piece!
