Matthias Lang

overhanging start with jugs, then passage with crimps and to the top. managed to recover by BREATHING at the end hahaha ;)

warm-up on pockets

great dihedral to stem up, at the end pumpy traverse to the left...awesome doing sport-climbing in austria in march!!! next time "midian direkt"!!!

cool climb on crimps and pockets and some heel-hooks, then reachy move to jug and quite high top-out

nice overhanging wall with a traverse starting left and going to the right with a shouldery move, then three moves to cross with the left hand and top-out. possible to traverse more to the right and top-out there.

nice mantle which niki started to clean and brush. some metres left of "teil einer jugendbewegung" right next to a tree. good moves with a sloper and a crimps which you change to undercling to top-out. don't if already some climbed that, otherwise a historical FA hahaha ;)

nice overhanging sloper-arete with dynamic moves to crimp at the end

another tall slab with good crimps

tall, but easy slab

slightly overhanging shield...with strange artifical hole

sharp crimps on vertical bloc

another sloper-arete. the 7a+ sitstart i couldn't understand

niiiice sloper-arete

nice bloc in snowey conditions. line goes up the right arete

sitstart and move to a painful crimp, then under-cling and stand-up

sitstart on crimp and two moves on crimps, then dyno to jug. completely wet so i destroyed my fingers a bit ;)

beautiful (and on this day dry) line on this huge wall. crux with heelhook...2nd go :)

beautiful slab with a fine crack

same bloc with the nice view

nice slab

nice & funny warm-up right next to "champane supernove"

awesome line out a roof, dyno to the lip and funny mantle...tried it a bit some weeks ago and today first try, though bad & wet conditions :)

great boulder to finish off the day!!! hard first section with 5 crazy moves, then sustained and pumpy along the lip of the boulder. checked out the tricky end two days before and linked the first passage with the big move so i knew it's possibe :)

nice moves on slopers with an essential hook which has to stick good

nice boulder on crimps at the beginning, then beautiful moves on good holds to the top

nice boulder up the first 3 quick-draws, then a beautiful & balancy arete and two easy roofs at the end...FLASH!!! :)

nice warm-up route with chimney, crimps and pockets

awesome 20 metres of dihedral-climbing with nearly no holds and a lot of hard steming and crazy foot-positions, then the really intimitating roof which you climb up using a brutal lay-back-finger-crack followed by a strange mantle...my first 5.12a ONSIGHT!!! What a day :)

highball on futuristic rock-features...don't know about grade or name...about V2-3

highball no.2 on futuristic rock-features...don't know about grade or name...about V2-3

beautiful, tall & slightly overhanging wall with crimps...~V3-4

nice sit-start on huge hold, then side-crimps and under-cling, feet up and reachy move to a bad crimps, match, feet up really high and huge move to another crimp-rail, then mental top-out...~V5

2nd try...awesome line through a wave-like wall. first crimpers then a jump to a jug!!! i thinks it's about V4

great, futuristic boulder up a mammut-looking bloc...many crimps and really balancy...about V5(+)

2nd try...vertical wall with under-clings...about V4

funny warm-up...don't know about the grade...about V2-3

great jugs to start, then crimps and techical top-out...about V3

awesome long & sustainted route with lovely holds

perfect, long warm-up on perfect lime-stone

nice vertical route with a complicated crux on tiny incut-limestone-crimps

at least one boulder on my first visit of this awesome spot :)

long move out of the roof + the long lip-traverse...without the sit-start of "entsafter" (which i nearly made on the same day)...nice birthday-session :)

nice boulder through the middle of "aufwärmwandl"...sit start with nice warm-up movements up the first metres, then a crux on crimps

awesome last session at C.U. for this summer. ripping the skin completeky off my hand & later with lots off tape finally sticking the last dyno of this great sustainted line. mayby FA?!?

V3; beautiful bloc!!! nice moves on side-pinches and slopers

V6; beautiful nice on the same bloc; just 10 min of work, nearly made a flash but failed at the technical top-out! nice ss on jug and side-slopper, reachy move to awesome sloper, heel-hook at the jug and match a tiny crimp...then some technical metres to top-out really high :)

V3; nice vertical problem for warm-up

V4; nice line on sloppers, however the "cyborg"-boulder is better

V4; one hard move to take off, then really easy

V7; my first V7 in bernal and this one in my opinion is more like 7B, especially because of the strange top-out...sit-start on good holds, then match to a double-crimp at your right, move your foot up high on your start-hold and block up with your left to a tiny, sharp side-crimp, match and big move with your right to a good crimp, match and get prepared for the top-out: another good crimp for your left, move your feet to the right, then a kind of bad pocket for your right hand from where you continue to the lip, move your feet and match the bad sloppers at the lip...then a real fight to mantle up :)

(~V7); nice technical exit through the big roof using the wall at the right side

long, lovely & sustainted route with goes up 35 metres. the first half you climb overhanging stalactites to a good rest and then more vertical and technical climb on tufas up to the chains

steep, overhanging & pumpy climb on stalactites with a crux on perfect crimps at the end and a really hard position to clip the chains...at left entrance of Cueva San Cayetano/3rd try

nice climb on tufas...short, funny and not too steep, actually the easiest route (the only 5.10) at Cueva de San Cayetano

2nd try (but should have been a flash)...nice short, overhanging route with a bouldery crux --> good sideholds plus a heelhook, then a huge move, then but your feet up and catch a tiny, bad crimp and from there a fast move to a good incut, then clip and keep it together to the chains.

nice warm-up on great holds

awesome route...long and sustainted with one sweet crux where you have to crimp a small sidehold

nice warm-up climb about 20 meters up the beautiful arete, then a good rest to finally conquer the big roof with some huge bouldery moves

nice vertical slab with great pockets and 2 easy overhangs at the top

some hard moves on crimps and 1-finger-pockets, then good rest, again hard moves + good rest...and so on :)

nice corner

scary climb up the first quick-draw...then keeping it together with a bad crimps and an undercling

nice finger crack then crux with a bad crimp

crux up to the first quick-draw

fiesta de crimps

V6; nice 45° overhanging shield, four hard moves on bad crimps and a hard dyno to catch the lip

V4; sloppers, undercling, sloppers

V4; nice vertical route on crimps with a scary top-out (without spot)

V5; sit-start of this slightly overhanging arete, adds to hard moves to get to the stand-start

V5; same start like "Malaria" but you go to the right with a bad, painful pocket

V4; nice vertical bloc with big moves on good crimps

V5; hard moves on bad sloppers, reaaaaally technical

V4; stand-start of this nice arete

V2; nice slab at "el rancho"

V1; another slab for warm-up with great holds

V5 (?); perfect overhanging arete with big moves on crimps

5.10a; nice free-solo on this great route following a good crack up "el capitán calzón"

V3; nice traverse for warm-up

V6; perfect boulder-problem, start on a great undercling with heelhook, then to a bad crimp and two compression-moves to reach a pocket, after that move your feet and a balancy move to a bad crimp and continue to the good rail, from there a hard top-out on crimps

V3; nice boulder for warm-up

beautiful sloper-arete to slab up with your left hand...with your right you've got a painful, tiny crimps/crack

nice vertical climb on great holds...then a mental runout from the last bolt to the chains

2nd try...a short, bouldery route just about 8 metres high...still it's got beautiful moves on crimps, under-clings, slopers and a huge dyno to a pocket-jug to leave the roof :)

...and again...i love it :)

just one of my all-time favorites :)

my first 3 bolts in my life, thank's a lot urs for teaching me!!! nice, vertical warm-up-route at "La Cueva de Chipilin"/Cuarto y Medio Dinamo :)

nice little slab on the way down to INRI

climbing up the arch of the INRI-cave

really hard morpho-move on tiny crimps to another crimp...i probably tried this move a hundred times

6b for the sit-start is really hard...

hard moves on crimps plus a crux-move to catch the sloppy edge of the boulder

easy funny mantle

nice slab

hard moves at the beginning and a funny mantle

easy start with from crimps to jug then the hard mantle at the left side

nice line along a juggy crack

first you climb through a overhango on some good slopers, then a nice move to the edge and catch a crimp for mantle

funny wall with good holds

overhanging boulder with good holds

hard boulder for the grade up the arete on "toit du cul de chien"
