Hydra 8a
Hydra 8a
📍 Ettringen, Germany

Hydra is the classic 8a finger crack in Ettringen, Germany. It sits on the left hand side of a beautiful amphitheater. Rarely ascended, and I believe most recent Dutch ascent was Gerke Hoekstra in August 2014. The 7c variant touches the side and gives a comfortable heel-hook. But of course, the only real line is the stunning straight up. This is a video of my ascent in August of 2017. The video was filmed by: Kris Schrijvers and the belay was done by: Vincent van Montfoort. The climber in the video is me personally: Jeroen van zeeland. Music is by Mura Masa with the song Lovesick.
