freeclimbing in Berlin, Friedrichshain; I shot 50 pics and gave them a
CD-ROM, now they can study their sporty action on TV-screen at home,
sitting on a sofa...
P.S.: because someone asked: it's not illegal; free-climbers are
exercising there supported by professionals; you have to pay an
entrance: berlin, friedrichshain, ravener street - it's geotagged
[click on the map link, right side; yahoo map calls it friedrichs-BERG
but the correct name of that neighbourhood (old East Berlin) is
friedrichs-HAIN] - compare flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/weekly-photo-chal...

Both photo have their particular appeal, but I like this one because of the climber's profile against the sky.
I can see this was a commercial climbing operation with additional handholds attached to the old structure, and the climbers are roped up and on belay. In the USA, the term "free climbing" usually refers to climbing without ropes and safety hardware.
Is that an old, concrete water tower they're climbing?
emil11 (57 months ago | reply)
This is how I get to my office desk. Great shot!
Frizztext (57 months ago | reply)
feedback for "anoldent": yes it's an old concrete water tower; I know, they are only exercising for the more dangerous freeclimbing without any hand-holds and ropes; it's a commercial meeting for urban sporty people, I think; I'm not a free-climber, but I tried to make a documentation of what is going on in the Berlin Friedrichshain neighbourhood...

in english:
..But: sitting on a sofa, looking at these picture... I´ll do it again, that´s for sure! :)...
in German:
Aber um vielleicht Missverständnisse auszuräumen. Freeclimbing ist etwas anderes: freeclimber sind tatsächlich Leute, die ganz ohne Sicherung klettern - eben völlig frei. Wir sind ganz normal geklettert, mit Seilsicherung im Vor- und Nachstieg (in dem Fall ich im Nachstieg...)
Frizztext (57 months ago | reply)
Nachtrag von K.`s Kletterpartner (e-mail):
"....eine kleine Korrektur: Wir sind defakto Freeclimber. Alles, was man ohne Sicherungsseil betreibt, nennt sich entweder Freesolo oder Deepwater-sooloing (über ausreichend tiefem Wasser). Freeclimbing kommt daher, dass wir ohne technische Hilfsmittel unterwegs sind (Trittleitern, Ausstiegsseile zum Hochziehen etc.). Man darf sich von dem Wort nicht in die Irre führen lassen."
MRP46 (57 months ago | reply)
Danke für die Definitionen. Habe gestern auf arte "Am Limit" gesehen, mit den "Huaber-Buam". Sie benutzten auch "Freesolo" für ungesichertes Klettern. An der Yosemite-Wand kletterten sie zwar mit Seilen, aber "speed" und mit so langen Seillängen, dass sie laut Kommentar über weite Strecken auch praktisch ungesichert waren.
Die extreme, ungesicherte Kletterei ist für mich so intelligent, sehenswert und moralisch wie Russisch Roulette, oder ständiges Überholen in der Kurve. Man verlässt sich hundertprozentig auf irgendeinen Steinvorsprung, einen alten Haken oder die eigenen Finger. Irgendwann passiert halt mal was, und man kann das dann nicht mehr als "Unglück" bezeichnen.

Its certainly not aid climbing (pulling on the protection), but its not free climbing though as they are protected by bolts as opposed to natural protection. Its more akin to sport climbing on artificial structures, just like indoor climbing walls.

Great shots. I will try this when I one day make it to Berlin. So much more interesting than the indoor climbing gyms in most places.
This photo was invited and added to the Berlin calling - the other side of Berlin (invitation) group.

Safe as houses when you have a top rope, We had no ropes on our bridge climb, but had lots of hand-rails..
This was real free climbing, I was mad then..
This was without ropes too...on another bridge, 100s of kms away from the Sydney Harbour. On the drive into Wee Jasper Caves, we ran up the bridge at night and the day we drove home, we climbed it again.. to see what we had been up!
