Robbie Phillips climbing Des Kaisers neue Kleider, Wilder Kaiser, Austria, freed by Stefan Glowacz in 1994. With his ascent Phillips also completed the famous Alpine Trilogy, a set of three 8b+ multipitch routes all established that same year: the aforementioned The Emperor's New Clothes, Silbergeier in Rätikon, Switzerland put up by Beat Kammerlander and End of Silence on Feuerhom in the Berchtesgaden Alps in Germany freed by Thomas Huber.
