Krankenschwester – 5.12c


30m / 98ft, 14 bolts

Description:

Boulder up the arete on the right edge of the wall, pass a mid-pitch station and finish with a technical face. This pitch is good quality and features contrasting halves. Oddly, it receives little attention despite being in the midst of the Doctors' Wall arena. 14 bolts (30m) FA: Peter Arbic, Rosemary Kajioka, 1995.

    When Sam Wfall took me into the darkness that is Doctors and told me he wanted to show me his Krankenschwester I was naturally apprehensive. Being the good friend I am I reluctantly followed and was happily surprised when his pants stayed on. "Krankenschwester" turned out to just be another dumb obscure fucking route few people other than Sam will ever attempt. While 12c is well below my belay grade, it can often still pack a punch, especially when the crag is packed like it was on this day. Sam climbed smooth and precise, calmly climbing through the first roof as I let loose the perfect amount of rope. Trouble soon found us at first rest however, as a climber at the first bolt beside us began letting out screams that make Ondra on Silence look like kid whispering to his friend in the Library. Realizing the negative impact this may have on my climber, I began to try and calm them down, "that'll go for sure, you looked super solid" I shouted, knowing full well they had no chance, their beta ressembling a truckers toilet after a big taco bell order. The first belay crux solved, the second crux came faster than expected as a rogue dog came and started playing with the rope. Being the animal lover that I am, this crux was really not as hard as others often claim it to be. Boom bang bing, Sam quickly found himself celebrating at the chains, knowing little of the war I had just fought on the ground. Buy your belayer a beer every once in a while fuckers.

    i think the crux is on the lower half gaining the slab but there are some tricky moves up high. good climb

    Thought the route ended at the first anchors. It doesn't. The 12c crux is 50 feet higher. Fell a week ago going to first anchors. O.S.'ed the 12c crux today.
