Flat Lux

Climbing "Flat Lux" (8+) in the "Meistersteig" feels like dancing on the edge of control. The route is notorious for its sustained power endurance, demanding unwavering focus and precision. From the ground, the line looks deceptively smooth, but the holds are actually quite small and crimpy, often requiring a full body press to maintain contact. The crux involves a committing traverse across a blank-looking slab, relying on subtle foot placements and pure friction. Falling here is not an option, as the swing would be long and potentially nasty. Success on "Flat Lux" is a testament to not only physical strength but also mental fortitude and the ability to trust your feet. The feeling of clipping the chains after such a battle is pure elation.
