After Rebecca & Mathias’ wedding party we spent Sunday climbing in the Pfalz – we’d arranged to meet Max and Uli at the Drei Felsen…
Our last trip to the Pfalz hadn’t seen the best weather – it was quite damp on several days – and we came away thinking the climbing there wasn’t up to much, and certainly wasn’t what you might call “world class”. However, modifying our perception a bit, after spending another day there in glorious sunshine I have to say that it is actually quite good! Amazing what a bit of sun will do… 😉
To get away from the noise of the B10 road below, despite the great sunny climbing, after a few routes we quickly moved on to the Weiherwände area – a very much quieter spot.
We arrived a few minutes after Max and Uli and followed them up Südpfeiler. Well, that is we followed after getting Max to clip the second bolt as he abseiled down to protect the desperately thin starting moves!
After that we realised that the heat of the day had beaten us! That, and the call of spaghetti ice-cream was too much to resist in the heat! 😛
Back in Edenkoben that evening we enjoyed a very German (we think) pub dinner. We ordered a Pfalz speciality; weinkraut, and three different types of sausage! :yum: And of course, eating out in the beirgarten we enjoyed some beer too! :yum:

Good to see you had agreat time with Max and Uli climbing in the Pfalz and actually liked it 😉
Yes, it was great! If we’d known what a disaster the traffic would be to Baden-Baden we’d have stayed in the forest for sure…
and you had spaghetti ice-cream! :alien:
