Heaven and Hell

Climbing "Heaven and Hell" (7+) in Engelstein is a truly memorable experience. The route lives up to its dramatic name, presenting a stark contrast between moments of blissful flow and sections of utterly desperate movement. Expect a steep, powerful start leading into a more technical and sustained middle section. The crux often involves delicate footwork on small crimps and a dynamic reach to a crucial hold. Mental fortitude is as important as physical strength here; you need to stay focused and committed, even when facing seemingly impossible sequences. The feeling of topping out after battling through the "Hell" section and finally reaching the relative "Heaven" at the anchor is incredibly rewarding. It's a climb that will test your limits and leave you feeling both exhausted and exhilarated. Proper belaying is crucial due to the potential for significant falls, especially in the lower section. Make sure to bring plenty of chalk and a strong psyche!
