HANSJORG AUER: BACK TO FREE SOLO
Bayerischer Traum 400m, 7a+ Schüsselkarspitze
November 25, 2011
Hansjörg Auer has made in free solo Bayerischer Traum 400m, 7a+ on Schüsselkarspitze nel Wettersteingebirge – Tyrol – Austria.
"Around 400 meters high, steep and a classic line. It´s located on the Southface of Schüsselkarspitze in the Wetterstein Mountains. It was opend in 1980 and free climbed in 1983. I climbed the route first time in 2002 but I was not able to free it. Then I never went for it again. I did many other routes on the wall. The most impressive days for me were the first free ascent of „Vogelfrei“ in 2009, the first repeat of „With or without you“ and the Free Solo of „Locker vom Hocker“, both during the incredible year of 2007. And last week I was able to add another important day for me.
The crux pitch felt hard. It´s exposed, steep and kind of powerful. If I compare it to the Free Solo of „Pesce“ it´s not far behind. For sure the new solo adventure is still more in my mind than all the other things and the facts that it was the first time to climb a powerful sequenze without rope and that my physical shape is not the best at the moment due to traveling too much over the last weeks, influences maybe my cognition. But anyway, I don´t want to challenge my adventures. I just want to tell you the truth how I experienced it."
