TAKE CARE, because the forest of Berdorf is a nature reserve! It means that certain animal and plant species, as well as their habitats, are highly protected. Berdorf's nature should be treated carefully. PLEASE do not leave any garbage in the forest or near the rocks, put it into some kind of bag and throw it into the dustbins on the parking. If you do not behave according to the rules they will close the climbing area, and you would not want that!? Have a look at the descritption of the route named “Mort Aux Cons (6a)”!

Please remember to always carry a TOOTHBRUSH on your chalkbag and clean the magnesia off the holds and your tickmarks off the wall after your climbing session. You’re not alone. Other climbers want to try the same routes in perfect conditions, too.

GRADES in climbing are relative. Every climber feels different about it. But the most important thing is to be honest with yourself and not to fool yourself with arguments that are not true. Climbing is a constant fight between your body and your mind. Between your thoughts and your feelings. Between your physical and mental abilities and the structures a piece of rock challenges you with. And those abilities are different for every single climber out there.

Sometimes you walk up to a problem, the weather conditions are perfect, you’re feeling good, you’re concentrated, you’re prepared and the movements flow. But sometimes you have to work really hard on a problem and it can be quite frustrating especially when you see other climbers doing it easily. But those are the rules of the game. Your weak point can be someone else’s strength and the other way around. The most beautiful moments in a climber’s life are those when you succeed after days, weeks, months or even years of hard work. The moments when you can enjoy the success of all your efforts together with all your friends sharing the same passion.

Patience, respect, understanding, honesty, openess, trust, ... being the most powerful skills. STAY STRONG. STAY FOCUSED ... Thank you very much and have fun climbing outdoors!
