Climbing | Teufelstalwand | Eternal Crack ****

Fratagnoli, Petazzi, Depaulis 2016

 

Eternal Crack was the first route on the Teufelstalwand, where the abundant natural structures were consistently used for securing and bolts were only placed where no mobile devices could be used. This not only fired the overdue starting signal to open up clean routes on the Teufelstalwand. With Eternal Crack the first ascentionists also created a great route with an impressive character. Today you can already find a handful of first-class crack climbs with a predominantly clean character on the Teufelstalwand: Florina, Maira, Laura, The Devils last Dance.
