Schiffsbug

Climbing "Schiffsbug" (Ship's Bow) in the Arnstein Blöcke is a memorable experience, particularly if you're comfortable at the 6+ grade. The route's name is apt; it does resemble the prow of a ship, offering a slightly overhanging and exposed feel. The crux usually involves a powerful sequence on small crimps and precise footwork to overcome the initial bulge. After the crux, the climbing eases slightly, requiring sustained technique and endurance on relatively less demanding holds to reach the anchor. Protection is generally good with well-placed bolts, but assessing each placement is always recommended. The position on the rock offers fantastic views and a real sense of accomplishment upon reaching the top. It's a climb that rewards commitment and solid climbing technique, making it a worthwhile challenge in a beautiful setting.
