Blockade, a captivating 7- (Font grade) climb at the Ratengrat bouldering area, presents a compelling challenge. The route begins with a powerful, reachy start, demanding precise footwork and body tension to overcome an initial overhang. The crux lies in maintaining momentum through a sequence of crimps and slopers, requiring careful weight distribution and strong fingers. A final, committed move to a good hold leads to a relatively comfortable top-out. The rock quality is generally excellent, offering good friction and well-defined holds. Success on Blockade hinges on a combination of raw power, technical proficiency, and mental fortitude. It's a rewarding problem that leaves you feeling truly accomplished upon sending.
