Intermezzo XY Gelöst | 9a Sport route

First ascent.

A controversial ascent at the time. Klem pre-clipped 3 draws, leaving only the chains to clip!

Having made the first ascent with draws pre-clipped Klem then came back to re-climb it while also clipping the draws.

I had a lot of information about the route. It's not very long, just three quickdraws in its 7 or 8 meters. Very similar to climbing in the Frankenjura. Two people were climbing there, and Roland explained all the move, went up and cleaned the holds, and then belayed me. I knew exactly what to do, and it worked out pretty well I’d say. [1]
