Churfirsten - Zuestoll - Neue Süd (VII-)
Established in 1982, Neue Süd takes on a fairly bold line through the Zuestoll south face, without failing to follow the logical points of weakness. Apart from L5, the cruxes are very tightly bolted, and hardly mandatory. It is prudent to carry the recommended mobile pro, as some sections with cracks have been left clean. The climbing is steep, the grading stiff, and the exposure deluxe! Gear: BD #0.3-0.75, medium rocks, 2x50m ropes, 12 quick draws incl. extensible ones. L1 3+ The entry pitch for passionate botanists, shared by most routes. L2 7- Traverse hard left, short but delicate slab boulder to gain upper ledge. L3 5+ Keep going left and aim for chossy looking corner. Dubious rock. L4 7- Tightly spaced bolts to the left. Beefy opposition moves. Bolt in traverse misses hanger, bring a rock! Skip first belay on the ledge, under overhang. L5 6- Cracks in slab, crux needs mobile pro ! Extend runner around corner, if linking next pitch. L6 5+ Short
