After giving birth, the frequency of her Franken visits went down (but they never stopped completely). That's when she began to really miss this place. Althpugh she still lives in Germany's fourth biggest city, her love for the Fränkische Schweiz blooms - to the point that she has made it to her second home again, by buying a house here together with her partner, Chri (you can spot him in the slideshow below - and soon read about him: in the next Climber Post!). Julia loves the Pegnitztal as a whole, Ankatalwand and Roter Fels deserving a special mention on her list. The routes at Vierte Dimension in Krottenseer Forst have also been a source of great enjoyment for her for many years now. Her 50RP route, Computerspiele, is an ultra classic at Ankatalwand. Her bond with this crag goes deep: in 2005, she celebrated her wedding there in the best way a true Franken climber could wish for - with coffee and cake (any associations with a climbing pioneer, famous also for his love of coffee?) - in addition to climbing, needless to say! A little behind the scenes insight: the photos above are some early poster tests. Click here to view the 50RP Posters. She keeps pushing her climbing level, more now than ever before. After many years of climbing in the 8th grade (UIAA), Julia ticked off her first 9- at the age of 47. After she turned 48, her first 9 followed. She isn’t calling it quits and is working towards doing a 9+ before her 50th birthday. That's the spirit! Thank you, Julia, for being one of our 50 Climbers!
