Abandoned Secret Trad Climbing Area in Kottenheim Germany

 Hi All,

It has been a while since we shared a post. Main reason is our YouTube activities.

Being on a climbing trip in Europe we found the time to edit the video that we took in Kottenheim and Ettringen in Germany last month.

We went there to find a group of 3 routes called "De Drei Zwerge". Since it is not often climbed we called it a Abondened Secret Area 😀.

REVIEW OF SALEWA - Women's Wildfire GTX - Approach shoes

Hi Guys or Girls,

Sandra just wanted to give her personal review on her Salewa-Women's Wildfire GTX Approach shoes.

It is already the third pair of these approach shoes that she bought in the last 10 years.

Most important reason for her is the perfect balance between being a lightweight approach shoe and still sturdy enough for real demanding tracks and rock. With these GTX shoes you can count on their reliability in all weather conditions. They stay even dry when passing rainy grass areas. She is using the shoes in both warm and cold weather conditions without any problems just adapting her socks when required. So please size them correctly for winter socks. In summer, the shoes breath sufficiently to keep cool. The sole feels very secure on rocky surfaces when scrambling up to your climbing routes. The climbing zone on the toes even can give some additional support when climbing small passages.

Every 4 years of service and using them quite intense during every climbing weekend on rock approaches the shoes now are being used as mountain biking shoes where they get really worn out. Nevertheless, very good shoes.

San bought already here new pair of Wildfire GTX and continues to use them.

Thanks to Salewa for making these magnificent shoes.
