Climbing 'Bauer Mauer - Alter Steinbruch' (graded 8+ according to some scales, likely meaning around 7a+/7b in the French scale) in the Old Quarry Unterried is a significant undertaking, demanding a blend of power, technique, and mental fortitude. The route, likely named with a nod to the site's history and perhaps a prominent feature, promises a challenging sequence of crimps, powerful pulls, and potentially tricky footwork. The rock quality in the quarry, often characterized by its rough texture and unique holds formed by blasting and weathering, adds to the experience. Expect sustained difficulty from the start, requiring excellent finger strength and the ability to read the rock carefully. Success on 'Bauer Mauer - Alter Steinbruch' is a rewarding achievement, marking a notable progression for any climber looking to push their limits. Before attempting, it's always recommended to check recent conditions, local beta (information and advice from other climbers), and ensure you have proper spotting and safety measures in place, as the quarry environment can present unique hazards.
