| Matthias Trottmann from Switzerland reports about the first free ascent of "6.4 Sekunden", his 7 pitch 8b/b+ (7c+ obligatory) located on the Fürenwand, Engelberg, Switzerland. Trottmann had established the route in 2005 and as early as January he started working the line, at times well-beneath the hanging icicles. Trottmann describes the route as being "powerfull-crimpy-slopy-tricky-sometimes holey- it has everything that makes your heart beats fast!" On 29 June he sent the route in a single push, without ever falling. For those interested, the name refers to the time it would take to free-fall the 200m from the top hold... 6.4 seconds Fürenwand, Engelberg F.A.: M. Trottmann 2005 F.F.A.: M.
