Michael Wohlleben:

After my repeat of Silbergeier and various other routes it became quite important to me, if I wanted to make a first ascent, to do so as fairly as I could. And not, as is still often the case, to drill my way up from one bolt to the next… or use various other forms of trickery…

Bodhichitta is a term from yoga and meditation, that I first got to know about 2-3 years ago. It means something along the lines of "enlightenment of the mind". I wanted to use a spiritual term in order to show my gratitude towards the route, and to the many belay days my friends gave me up there. Plus the Dreifaltigkeit, the trinity, lights up incredibly beautifully at sunrise and resembles a burning torch, so I think the name works really well. [1]

Ungraded. FA felt crux pitch to be harder than Silbergeier and Prinzip Hoffnung.

Originally started from a tree at the base of the route at 7c. The tree was sadly chopped by a mystery lumberjack during the night of Friday 18th July 2008.
