  • Morroco / Apr.2010
  •  

    In April travelling with friends in Morocco, we had very much fun! We flew to Casablanca and took a night train to Marrakech. Within 10 hours we were on a warm ground. We rented car and off we went! Firstly we climbed in the deep and impressive Todra George. You can chose sunny side or shade in George any time of year. All of single-pitch we climbed are well bolted and couldn't be resisted. Hiking up to mountain plateau was also nice. After Todra George, we organized trekking tour to Jbel Sarhro, where a huge Conglomerate prehistoric fortress and towers positioned high up in the mountains, truly magnificent. Afterwards we drove down to southern Morocco N 9, until the end of road, then we drove in to the desert about 60 Km by Jeep and where start the Sahara desert, a world of dunes and wind, about 100 meter high sand hills bleak landscape, drifting sands and endless wastelands to behold. It's absolutely desolated but fascinating. We saw many things on the way in Morocco, except mirage. Many old ruined villages constructed by red-brown rammed clay, beautiful green Oasis with Palm trees and blue waters, barren country with the sun on the horizon, all Medina were lively and busy. Morocco is simply picturesque!

  • Hampi / India - Mar.2010
  •  

    During this winter time I spend a quite laudable holiday in Goa. Afterwards i travelled to Hampi in Karnataka, where declared as UNESCO heritage city. The ruins of Hampi reveal the magnificence of a great city and a great empire. It is really a big area! Lots of rocks! The boulders form the geography of this area is wild spread. Bouldering in some of the best granite rocks in India and in such a beautiful surroundings! Hampi is something very special to me, to touch to the rocks with deep ancient history. Crash Pad is available at Goan Corner Restaurant in Virupapur Gaddi (opposite side from Hampi Bazaar)

  • Leh / Ladakh / India - Oct.2009
  •  

    Ladakh is a region of the Indian Federal State Jammu and Kashmir and takes nearly half of the surface of this Federal State. The area is to a large extent high mountains and thinly settled. Ladakh is admits for the beauty of its remote mountains and for the Tibetan Buddhist culture. Therefore Ladakh is called "little Tibet". Ladakh was an independent Buddhist kingdom.
    A collapse of the relations with Tibet ended with the attempt of an invasion by fifth Dalai Lama. By Kashmir the Ladakhi could exercise again control of their country, but this had its price:
    In Leh a mosque had to be established, and which ladakh king had to convert to the Islam. Later Kashmir annexed the kingdom and terminated its independence, in order to become later than consequence some from British India to. The area of the kingdom is today some of Pakistan, India and the Aksai Chin district of the People's Republic of China

  • Schüsselkarspitz / Wetterstein / Austria- July.2009
  •  

    Sommer 2009 began very modestly with months of uncertain weather prevailing, sometimes good, sometimes heavy rain. This time I'm on the way to Wetterstein.
    We want to climb "Wolke 7" and "Knapp+Köchler", two of the best classic routes in the Wetterstein. We have already postponed our plans once before because of bad weather but this time the weather should hold. Interpreting the weather forecast for the next days is not easy, nevertheless three days good weather seems to be probable.
    The well bolted routes we choose are not extremely long but technically sustained on perfect rock. Nearly all the pitches require a certain determination to succeed, there are few 'easy going' pitches for the body and mind to recover on. The climbs were awesome and we loved every minute of it! We spanked the Wetterstein and finally we reached to the last belay in a good temper and we smoked on Wetterstein!
