Reissend Nollen (Vorbau) - NachtExpress
View route detailsIt always goes like this: among a thousand possible plans, we inevitably end up choosing the least suitable one. At a time when I’m not in top form, we naturally decide to go and test some real Wenden vibes. There is also a Plan B, Zyland, but the temptation to experience the “sparse bolts” (Google translation—there’s practically nothing in Italian about this route) is irresistible. For once I actually sleep well: we are surrounded by cows grazing with bells around their necks, but I only wake up when my phone greets us in the morning. A short walk along the easy path, we identify the route and set off. There’s a fight ahead, and the climbing is mostly obligatory. We also discover some opening tricks, like little cliffhanger holes. The final score has Ape in the lead with three falls (compared to my two), and especially for having overcome the incomprehensible last 7a pitch… Incredible plays of light from a sun playing hide-and-seek accompany us on the descent.
