The first (hard) move of this route is arguably the most famous move in climbing and for sure the most iconic one: a pretty long jump from a bad mono (one finger pocket) to a two finger pocket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest challenge was to set everything up at a height of about 5m at the highest point. But thanks to a couple of friends we could get everything done in time for beautiful evening light at the crag. It&#8217;s definitely an impressive sight when the entire setup is up and running!! Here are a couple of behind the scenes shots in a somewhat logical order \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-1-1024x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-1-1024x600.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-1-500x293.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-1-400x234.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-1-853x500.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Waldkopf, undisturbed&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3-1024x668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3-1024x668.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3-500x326.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3-400x261.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3-767x500.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The setup in travel mode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-1024x763.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-500x372.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-400x298.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4-671x500.jpg 671w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/4.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Action test in the local climbing gym!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1024x758.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-1024x758.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-500x370.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-400x296.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-676x500.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Last steps of setting up&#8230; ghetto ladder style included \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6-1024x764.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6-500x373.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6-400x298.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6-670x500.jpg 670w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Everything ready to go&#8230;!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As usual, the shooting itself was a piece of cake compared to all the preparation and setting up. Alex and Yannick (Floh\u00e9, another German top climber who spontaneously joined the session) each jumped a couple of times until the skin on their fingers waved the white flag and that was it! Luckily, taking everything down and carrying it back to the car took a lot less time and so at approximately 9:30pm, the 15 hour session was done!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/AlexMegos_ADSprung_2000px.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of 75 photos of Alex&#8216; swing after the jump \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AlexGIF1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AlexGIF1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2106\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RAW-ish footage of the swing in GIF format<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final result can be seen here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Sfttj9wUHYA\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Sfttj9wUHYA<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Check out the 3D model of Alex&#8216; swing on Polycam: \r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/poly.cam\/capture\/473b0d41-3b35-4120-abe6-a92ab9634956\">POLY.CAM Link<\/a>\r\n\r\n<p>Maybe this preview here works as well, if not then it&#8217;s due to the viewer&#8217;s beta status:\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/poly.cam\/capture\/473b0d41-3b35-4120-abe6-a92ab9634956\" title=\"polycam capture viewer\" style=\"height:100%;width:100%;max-height:720px;max-width:1280px;min-height:280px;min-width:280px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In october 2023 world class climber Alex Megos and I realized a project that had been on the To Do list for about a year: a bullet time session at the famous Waldkopf climbing crag [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2102,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allgemein"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2117"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2334,"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2117\/revisions\/2334"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.larsscharlphoto.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
