FELSIGE GAERTEN NEW MIXED LINE IN TYROL
Leichtfried and Piccolruaz in Sellraintal
January 30, 2012
Christian “Picco” Piccolruaz and Albert Leichtfried have done the first redpoint (and the first flash ascent) of Felsige Gaerten (M8 WI7) a mixed variant of Haengende Gaerten, the classical hard icefall in Sellraintal (Tyrol, Austria) opened in 1988 by Andreas Orgler and Otti Wiedmann.
"To be honest, Picco's idea to put up a mixedline for winters with less ice at "Hängende Gärten" seemed quite odd to me" Leichfried writes on his website
But the decision to go turned to be right: " the climb was brilliant - especially pitch three turned out to offer challenging iceclimbing at its best and produced a big smile on my face! Thanks Picco for this odd but genial idea!"
