I really like the chance to reflect my life in terms of Corner View.
This week the topic is Seven.
I'm into rock climbing. Routes are not only but mainly described by a number.
This number indicates the difficulty. There are different scales in the world. I talk about the UIAA 7 that is used in Germany.
7 was my personal goal.
In former times of the heroic alpine climbers that was the very top.
For the young sport climbers of today it's just the start.
Being able to climb a (german) 7 allows a greater choice of rock, of mountains, of routes.
I never really managed the 7, just scratched it a bit.
But over the years I did climb some fantastic routes. As you can see I prefer the ones near directly at the sea.
On the picture below is one of the more relaxed ones,above my most exciting one. Yes, I was scared. Yes, it was worth it in many aspects. It felt great to do something like this at least once in my life.
Last year I was really in shape, with my body and mental.
This year I only started last weekend - very careful - with very easy routes.
Btw, around the world there are different scales. Mostly I climb in Southern Europe. With the scale used there I would never even think of a 7.
But for this post I needed the German scale ;-)
Probably the most boring post about climbing, rambling about a 7.
This week you can see the links to further Corner Views at tressfam.

Thanks for all your so friendly, nice, appreciated comments.
Yes, I did see quite some places of this beautiful world.
But I also saw many years already.
Although this is 'already' my second post after a long summer break I'm still not really back into posting, reading and commenting. I guess this might go on for a while.
I'm spending a lot of time at the physiotherapeut and try to do as much yoga and walking besides my full-time job, for the benefit of my good-healing foot.
Sorry, if I don't come back to you as I did before.

A seven is something to aspire to. I'm still at the bottom getting my gear on ~ I'm afraid I haven't made it past 1 yet. I'm only successful in rock climbing in an indoor climbing gym ~ with styrofoam padding in the pit.
ReplyDeleteRest and recouperate. Cheers~
Although I live in prime rock climbing area, I don't know much about it, so and the german scale sounds impressive to me!
ReplyDeleteThis is far from boring. You are super cool, happy to meet you, and I LOVE your header.
ReplyDeleteliebe tally. das sind ja richtige berg abenteuer und wunderbare bilder. so schön dass du bei corner view mitmachst. bei mir läuft alles ein bisschen chaotisch und ich habe mühe mich zu organisieren mit arbeit, familie, bloggen, kommentieren, kochen, yoga, reisen und die 1000 sachen die ich sonst noch machen möchte. deshalb mach ich glaub mal cv pause. mal schauen. dir ganz liebe grüsse und schon jetzt ein schönes wochenende*
ReplyDeleteVon wegen langweilig - bei jedem liegt die Grenze halt woanders (und bei mir nur bei einer sächsischen sieben)und ist mehr oder weniger wichtig. Die einen wollen so schwer wie möglich klettern und die anderen brauchen Sonne, schöne Landschaft und die richtigen Leute dazu. Wenn ich deine Bilder sehe, kann ich die Wärme der Sonne auf dem Rücken und die besondere Stimmung am späten Abend spüren...genau das, was für mich am "Draußen sein" so wichtig ist.
ReplyDeleteAlles Gute Dir und Deinem Fuß

Liebe Tally,
ReplyDeletedie Fotos sind einfach phantastisch, die Luft da oben muss toll schmecken und das Gefühl der Freiheit immens sein - was muss einem so durch den Kopf gehen?
Ich wünsche dir schöne Herbsttage ... wir warten immer noch vor dem Ofen auf den versprochenen Altweibersommer, vielleicht kommt er ja noch ☺,
herzlichst Manu
Liebe Tally, schriebst du mir gerade ICH sei mutig?? Also, mal ehrlich. D.U. bist mutig! Ich würde mich nie an einen Berg schnallen und seine Höhen abseits normal begehrbarer Wege erklimmen... Das geht mir einfach zu steil bergab!!! ;-))) *lach*
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße und schönen Restabend!
Frau E.
oh...liebe Tally, das find ich jetzt auch mutig, weil..ich bin absolut nicht schwindelfrei. Aber toll stell ich mir das schon vor!
ReplyDeleteJa..die Stühle stehn auf Sardinien;), im Süden, aber ehrlich gesagt, kann ich dir nicht genau sagen, wie der Ort heisst, irgendwo bei San Priamo. Lassen uns meistens so treiben und bleiben da, wo die wenigsten Stühle besetzt sind:).
schicke dir liebe Grüße
Susanne
Hey Tally,
ReplyDeleteFlorian hat mir die frohe Kunde schon übermittelt. Ich freu mich auf das Maschinchen und hoffe, meine Nähvorhaben werden damit gelingen.
Liebe Grüße,

Hach...neulich hab ich Photos von einem wunderbaren Klettersteig nahe Andermatt gesehen und nun deine atemberaubenden Kraxeleien hier...
ReplyDeleteIch muss ernüchtert feststellen, dass meine Kondition in diesem Leben wahrscheinlich nicht mehr in solche Höhen kraxeln wird....dazu hab ich zu viel anderes vor.... aber es hat ganz großes Sehnsuchtspotential!
