A perfect day & three in a row...

After spending a stressful working day in the office and later on in our Cocktailbar until four o'clock in the morning I slept a few hours and try to get my mind clear and get some positive energy into my tired bones and emptied brain. Saturday was then a beautiful day. Instead of rain, snow or clouds a warm sun was greeting me and wind was slightly blowing through my hair. If someone would have told me that this day I'll climb three more fantastic boulders of my wishlist then I would have said that he or she is crazy. I just wanna go out in the nature having some fun at the rock somewhere out in the beautiful swabian forests. I left my fathers house at 3pm and an hour drive I found myself on a special location which is called "Blankenstein" with loads of beautiful and clear lines. I was really happy when I saw that all holds of the boulders I've thought of are almost dry. The first boulder I started with was "Pfeil und Bogen" which is around Fb. 7a+ and is a cool short line and I could make it on my third go. The next boulder which I was keen on is called "Kreuzritter" and I have to say that for its grade of Fb. 7b is sure a powerful line with sharp holds. Because of a really sharp edge I have to make it with only a few goes. After the fourth try I stood on the top. Right after the success of "Kreuzritter" I got over to the most stylish line of the cliff. "Orangutan" which is about Fb. 7b with the easiest topout. But because I was feeling very good these day I intent to try the direct topout which then is about Fb. 7b+. I couldn't believe that also this boulder was done after the fifth try. I hope that boulder days like these are not that rare in future. This was a great day not only from the climbing perspective, even the weather, the sounds of the forest and the good smelling fresh air. Hope it'll happen again soon...
