Climbing "Astapowo 1910 - Gottesfinger" (7+) on the Gottesfinger (God's Finger) is a truly memorable experience. The route, named after the year of Leo Tolstoy's death at the Astapovo railway station, weaves its way up the prominent rock tower with challenging and exposed moves. The rock quality is superb, providing excellent friction, but requires precise footwork and strong fingers. The crux likely involves a powerful sequence on small crimps, demanding good body tension and efficient movement. Reaching the summit offers breathtaking panoramic views, making the hard work well worth the effort. It's a route that tests both physical and mental strength, demanding respect and careful planning. A classic of the Gottesfinger!
