Binz Colossus Abandoned Pier Bouldering

The slab traverse is located on the crumbling brick wall of a dilapidated Nazi harbor pier. The brick is just right for full crimps and the foot holds are big enough for approach shoes. Start the traverse at the southern end near the stair case any where you want. Then begin your traverse by heading out to sea and choosing your line. The holds are sand covered which adds an element of surprise and difficulty. Larger crimps and pinches can be held with sand, smaller crimps and pinches need a little on-wall blow. As you near the water the lower section of brick is more exposed and crumbled away which provides huge foot holds and better hand holds. You can climb down to make the climb easy (V3 or 5.8) or head above this section for a challenge (V4 or 5.10). Head out as far as you can before your pumped and fall on soft sand, no pads required.
