Panico

Longlines

<p>On the 44,000 meters of climbing researched for this book, epochal alpine milestones mingle with enjoyable new route creations. Climbing legends such as Albert Precht, Klaus Hoi and Heinz Zak comment on their passion for steep rock. Routes made by climbing greats from long ago, such as Angelo Dibona or Hias Rebitsch, are accurately recorded in line with modern requirements. And above all, plenty of space is devoted to new routes secured with bolts by creative talents such as Ralf Sussmann, Rudi Kühberger and the author himself. 40 routes where you can clip bolts in keeping with the spirit of the times but sometimes also have to make do with rusty cucumbers.</p> <p>For climbers outside the mainstream, there is an abundance of limestone between the Rätikon and Gesäuse in every conceivable quality. Steep red, water-eroded gray, sometimes bombastically solid, sometimes crumbling to dust, dark and light form the high walls of the Northern Limestone Alps.</p> <p>What all this has in common: a day-filling yield of experiences and impressions that last far longer than the length of the climb.</p> <ul>Described areas: <li> Gimpel - Schrei aus Stein </li> <li> Therapie - Wetterwandeck </li> <li> Lalidererspitze - Magic Line </li> <li> Lalidererspitze - Nordverschneidung </li> <li> Grubenkarspitze - Inferno und Ekstase </li> <li> Hochkogel - Police One </li> <li> Hochkogel - Pipeline </li> <li> Hoher Dachstein - Ten after five </li> <li> Hoher Dachstein - Gunshot </li> <li> Dachl - The big bankruptcy </li> <li> Kuchenspitze - Innuendo </li> <li> Südliche Wetterspitze - Wetterkante </li> <li> Hochwanner - Direct North Face </li> <li> Totenkirchl - Kirchl-Ideale </li> <li> Watzmann - Salzburger Weg </li> <li> Großer Bratschenkopf - Freer than Paul Preuß </li> <li> Hochstadel - Northwest Pillar </li> <li> Torstein - Windleger </li> <li> Hoher Dachstein - Steinerweg </li> <li> Großer Ödstein - Nordkante </li> <li> Hintere Platteinspitze - Plattenzauber </li> <li> Sukzfluh - Cathedral </li> <li> Südliche Wetterspitze - Between the Gates </li> <li> Plattspitze - Aquaria </li> <li> Hochwand - Nice Work Boys </li> <li> Plattenspitze - In the Shadow of the Sphinx </li> <li> Sonnjoch - Heartbeat of Passion </li> <li> Hackenköpfe - Path of Friends </li> <li> Kleine Halt - Colosseum </li> <li> Kleine Halt - Via Aqua </li> <li> Westliches Reifhorn - Fun Connection </li> <li> Westliches Geislhorn - RiMi-Gedenkweg </li> <li> Grosses Rothorn - Bloody Old Men </li> <li> Breithorn - EndeNie </li> <li> Birnhorn - Pinzgawurm </li> <li> Großer Bratschenkopf - Weg der Chaoten </li> <li> Großer Törlwieskopf - Wild und Köstlich </li> <li> Traunstein - Kaffee und Kuchen </li> <li> Rotschirr - Der längste Tag </li> <li> Schermberg - Schloßgespenst </li> </ul> <p>Adi Stocker | Panico Alpinverlag | 1.
