Climbing 'Die fabelhafte Welt der Amnesie - Rosskuppe' (8-/8) at Rosskuppe is an immersion into a world where physical demand meets poetic contemplation. The route's whimsical name, 'The Fabulous World of Amnesia,' hints at the profound mental state it evokes. From the very first intricate moves, a delicate dance on demanding holds, it's clear this is a test of precision, finger strength, and unwavering balance. Each section presents a unique puzzle, requiring full commitment and intense focus. The air grows thin with exertion, the rock pressing against fingertips, muscles burning with effort. Yet, amidst the struggle, there's a unique forgetting – an amnesia not of memory, but of the world below, of worries, of everything but the present moment on the rock. It's a flow state, a surrender to the climb itself, where the body, the rock, and the next hold become the only reality. Reaching the top, the panorama of the Rosskuppe area unfolds, a magnificent reward for the journey. The lingering feeling is one of deep satisfaction, a quiet triumph, and the echoing memory of that fabulous, all-consuming amnesia.
