A gathering for those who find the industrial charm of a concrete tower in the middle of a forest strangely compelling. We are meeting at the Kletterturm Teufelsberg to climb, belay, or simply discuss the merits of various chalk brands. It is a Monday evening in the Grunewald—low stakes and high friction. Whether you are projecting a 7a or just trying not to slip on the warm-up, the goal is to enjoy the verticality of Berlin's most iconic rubble hill before the work week really takes hold. Expect more time spent debating beta than actually sending, which is exactly how these things usually go.
Event plan
- 7:00 PMThe Gear ShuffleArrive, find the group by the tower base, and spend an unnecessarily long time lacing shoes while assessing the wall's current state.
- 7:25 PMTraverse and TalkA collective warm-up on the lower holds to wake up the forearms while catching up on the weekend's missed climbs.
- 8:15 PMProjecting the TowerFocused attempts on specific routes. We will offer mutual encouragement or silent observation, depending on the difficulty of the overhang.
- 8:55 PMThe Slow DescentPacking up gear, shaking out the pump, and a gradual walk back toward the S-Bahn as we accept that gravity won this round.
