August 2017

Info

(13.08.2017)

Allgäu: Because of the extremely humid and tropical summer many crags are permanently humid and the flora is growing rapidly. Bushes, grass and moss start to take over the clean rock. One spot where that happened obviously in the last weeks is "Rockland". The woodcutting over the last while increased the speed of that process and moss is growing fast. A spot which definitely needs a ground up cleaning again is the Einsiedelblock.

Please help to keep such walls climbable! If it is dry enough again to climb there, take a good brush with you and keep the boulderproblems clean. Only if everyone plays one's part in keeping the rock clean such walls will stay climbable in the future!

At the personal wish of Ferran Guerrero Hervas we clearly want to clarify at this point the following:

  • The contribution of Ferran Guerrero Hervas to the production of the bouldertopo E-Bloc was stricly limited to the area of „Savassona“.
  • As a local climber he was so kind and agreed to have the close look of an expert on our already almost completed informations to the area Savassona to correct eventually occuring errors.
  • Ferran Guerrero Hervas was at no time involved in any way in the work on other areas published in this guidebook.
