Im Vollrausch

Climbing "Im Vollrausch" (literally, "In Full Intoxication") on the Arnstein Hauptwand is a classic Franconian experience. This 6+ (UIAA, which translates to roughly 5.10a/b in Yosemite Decimal System) route offers engaging climbing on solid, textured limestone. Expect a mix of technical face climbing, stemming, and perhaps a few powerful moves depending on your reach. The route is well-protected with bolts, making it relatively safe, but still requires solid technique and thoughtful route finding. The exposure increases as you ascend, adding to the thrill. The crux often lies in a sustained section with delicate footwork and precise hand placements. Successfully topping out "Im Vollrausch" rewards you with stunning views of the surrounding Franconian Switzerland countryside. It's a memorable climb that embodies the unique character of the area.
