The Route "The Principle of Hope" was established, as one of the best trad routes in Vorarlberg, through Beat Kammerlander in 2009 by removing bolts of an existing route and climbing it without them. In 2014, Barbara Zangerl was able to repeat it as the first woman. Barbara is one of the best alpine sports climbers today.
I find this a bit odd... that some routes seem to get all the limelight and others, not so much. In this occatition I can understand the news item (young lad crushing and Kammerlander klassik), but a double send of another F8b+ trad routes should also get some attention...https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu9BvQalvNm/ Or perhaps these E8/9/10 sends are so common place in the alps, that there is no need to reports them en mass.

If only I could have learned to fall off with such insouciance....
