Eastend

Climbing "Eastend" (grade 6+) in the "Nasenkamin" route is a classic and rewarding experience. The Nasenkamin itself, meaning "Nose Chimney", is a prominent and well-known feature, usually attracting experienced climbers looking for adventurous lines. "Eastend" likely branches off from the main Nasenkamin chimney, offering a distinct variation. A grade of 6+ suggests a challenging but manageable climb for those familiar with the grading system. Expect sustained physical effort, requiring good technique, strength, and efficient movement. The route would likely involve a mix of crack climbing, stemming, and chimney maneuvers within the Nasenkamin formation. Thorough gear placement for protection is essential, and route finding might require careful observation, especially at the point where "Eastend" diverges. The rock type is typical for the Elbsandstein Mountains, meaning sandy, sometimes fragile, and requiring gentle handling. Success on "Eastend" in Nasenkamin provides a fantastic sense of accomplishment and spectacular views from atop the formation.
