Schenk's Ascent

Schenk described the Goldrake as a route where you enjoy every moment, starting steep and finishing on a sketchy slab.

“It’s one of those routes where you enjoy every single moment. Starting with a steep section and finishing on a sketchy slab, this route demands all the skills a good climber should have.”

Placci's Comment

Placci said it was fun to climb on a different style and angle than he’s used to and to share the send with Filip.
