Climbing in the Western Harz is first and foremost pure granite. Rough but hearty is the motto. But it is especially climbing in nature. Deep forests, surprisingly imaginative rock formations and romantic mountain streams make the Harz one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Germany. In addition to fully equipped routes with bolts, there are also many mixed routes where you can belay yourself. Some of the best crack climbing in northern Germany can be found here! The focus is on easy and medium-difficulty routes.The Oker Valley is particularly attractive for vertical climbers who prefer easy and moderately difficult routes, which is why we have extended our previous three-stage route colour categorisation (grey = difficult, red = medium, blue = easy) specifically for this purpose. The new categorisation is: very easy (UIAA 1-3) = green, normal easy (UIAA 4-6) = blue.This new edition of 2025 includes a whole series of completed projects, a few additional topos and new photos throughout the book.The guide Harz Rocks 1 is part of the complete Harz Rocks publication, which consists of Harz Rocks 1 on the one hand and Harz Rocks 2 on the other. In the second book all other rocks of the Harz are presented, e.g. the rocks of the Hochharz around Schierke, Eckertal, Steinbachtal, the sandstone rocks of the northern Harz foreland and also the limestone rocks of the southern Harz and the difficult sport climbing routes of the Krokstein.Perfect photo topos, precise access and ascent maps + detailed descriptions, route information, star ratings, tips for protection.288 pagesLanguage German / partly EnglishEdition 2025A.

Climbing in Northern Germany
Anyone who knows a bit about the German climbing landscape knows that Lower Saxony has more to offer than Heidschnucken, Hannover 96 and mudflat hikes. You can climb there very well! On the famous Ith cliffs around Kamel, Krokodil and Drachenwand, the bizarre rock towers high up on Kanstein, the rocks in the Selterdschungel that are open for climbing, the popular walls of Brunkensen or the impressive alpine wall abysses of Hohenstein. After just over three years, the second edition of "Hoch im Norden" was already completely sold out. In the meantime, the North German explorers were busy and 150 new tours had to be documented. In the known areas was eagerly re-developed and also two so far little considered areas were awakened with over 60 new ways. Last but not least, a completely new rock was recorded. Interestingly, this is a sandstone quarry. The guide has been completely re-illustrated with over 130 climbing photos and has increased by another 16 pages.
