Bouldering in France, Germany and Switzerland

Photos by Georg Lenz / www.lenzfoto.de - Bouldering naturally offers better working (shooting) conditions compared to roped climbing, but the German photographer Georg Lenz also enjoys that too. Shown here is a collection of problems (and climbers) from the European boulderfields of: Laurenzofels, near Alsace, France; Pfalz, near Heidelberg and Karlsruhe, Germany; Magic Wood, near Averstal, Switzerland; and Ticino in the Verzasca Valley, Switzerland.

Bouldering. "Höhenrausch" (7b+) Magic Wood. It's higher than it looks and it's all ending in an intimidating funnel of rock at the base. So you have to get accustomed to falling in the crux at the top. But we have amillion crashpads and a lot of dedicated spotters.... Photo by George Lenz / www.lenzfoto.de
