Weekend back @ home.

Next day, on Sunday, trip to the climbing mekka of Brüggler, a real paradise, especially on this day: warm, sunny and noone in front of us. Quickly up “Highway”, 3rd pitch is like a stairway to heaven, great one! Continue reading ‘Fünfländerblick: Bouldern & Brüggler: Highway’
