I am not very often reporting about climbing routes and I won't do that this time neither. I'll rather tell some words about climbers. Real climbers, not like me.
They all follow common pattern, which is probably written somewhere in a Bible for climbers. Firstly, the way they earn money is either exhibicionismus, prostitution or work at height. Secondly, their cars are very close to the end of lifetime - travelling to rocks is already an adventure. As a third commandment, you would find something about alcohol like: "drink 10 beers and still able to made it to the end of slack-line". Fourth, shower is for the loosers. Fifth, eating whenever, whatever, whereever, the best food is for free. Sixth, coffee from moka pot before and after climbing. Seventh, never pay for night! Forest is your hotel, cave is your bedroom. Under a bridge is also fine. Eight, partner has to be also climber, otherwise wouldn't be able to sustain that. Or, no partner at all, only girlfriends, one per climbing area - so that night is for free, or even paid (see commandment 1 and 7). Ninth, helping your friend whenever he gets into troubles, for example late evening in a pub. Tenth, be able, be villing and be happy to lead whichever pitch in witchever situation, in order to safe bolls of your climbing-partner. Especially the last two commandments are crucial.
From time to time, I have that possibility to climb with such a real climber. It happened to me at Brevent above Chamonix, and it was a good piece, I have to say.
