Kahl Wall, 5.10a, 9 Pitches

Kahl Wall, 5.10a, 9 Pitches

1st Pitch- 30m- 5.5/ I took a 70m rope so I could combine the first two pitches. Rope drag becomes quite severe as the 2nd pitch follows a long traverse, but I would do it again this way to save time on the belay. Make sure to start in the corner to the right, versus left, from the top of the short scramble section. It is also easy to get off route by ascending to high on this pitch. In fact I did that and saw a makeshift piton rappel in which to retreat. If you see it, it is still fairly easy to down climb back to the point where you need to make a traverse. That is the 2nd pitch anyway, the first pitch is nothing more than running to the top of the large open corner on easy ground. There is a ledge and piton to the left.
