Fun easy ice climb near Munich
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 5:44 pmHowdy all,
The other day a friend and I explored the Linker Schergenwieser Eisfall, about 6 pitches of WI2-3 (mostly 2) near Lenggries. It's a nice warm up climb for those new to ice or haven't been out in a while. The conditions are rather thin (water running just a few centimeters from your picks), but with the low angle it just adds a bit of fun spice. If you want to protect it, bring stubby screws and still be prepared to tie them off.
This site has all the details you need. We dug out space for one car in the parking lot which is not plowed. Government cutbacks in Germany?!? Definitely bring a shovel to enlarge it or make your own.
Here's me somewhere near the end...
I could be wrong but I guess this is the closest multipitch ice to Munich? Correct me if not!
