Mittendrin

Climbing "Mittendrin" (graded 8/8+) in "Unten im Wald NW" is a real test of crimping power, body positioning, and mental fortitude. The line itself is beautiful, traversing a slightly overhanging wall with a series of thin holds and delicate foot placements. The crux, for me at least, involved a committing move off a tiny crimp to a slightly better one, demanding absolute precision. The sequence leading up to it requires careful footwork to maintain tension and prevent barn-dooring. After the crux, the climbing eases slightly, but still demands focus until the anchor. "Mittendrin" is a route that rewards dedication and precise execution, making it a truly satisfying send in this picturesque forest setting.
