Optimist, new Schneefernerkopf climb by Michael Wohlleben and Joachim Feger

No bolts were placed along the route that has been called Optimist and while the difficulties never exceed M6, Wohlleben commented “on the whole it’s fairly difficult to protect because of the typical poor Wetterstein rock.”

This new climb follows the first ascent, carried out March 2014, of Dornröschen, on the Wetterwand (2698m) in the same massif. This 1100m line breaches difficulties in the region of 50°/7- /M5, follows sections of the Schmidführe and Laßberg/Leberle-Führe and was successfully climbed in 5 hours together with Fritz Miller on 26 March after two previous failed attempts.
