Füssen triumphs at the Edelrid Allgäu climbing cup 2024!

Kempten, Deutschland - In the Allgäu, the climbers Lara Neumeier and Benjamin Hildebrand from Füssen triumphed at the 33rd Edelrid Allgäu climbing cup. Both athletes secured the coveted cheese bowl trophies and thus underlined their outstanding form. The competition, which has been a tradition in climbing since 1989, attracted 93 participants this year and took place in the Kempten climbing center "Swoboda Alpin". The athletes faced six qualification routes in the difficulty of 7 to 9+ and demonstrated impressive performance. There were close and exciting competitions, especially among women, where Neumeier left her competitors behind in the final to win. Hildebrand, on the other hand, decided the men's finals in his favor and left the competition behind after he was able to increase again after third place in the qualification, like Allgäuer Zeitung reported.

a huge success in Yosemite

Lara Neumeier recently experienced a completely different adventure in the USA: Together with the Austrian climbing Babsi Zangerl, she managed to climb the famous El Capitan in the Yosemite National Park after a six-day bundling of the Routen Muir Blast and El Corazon. Neumeier, who first climbed her first free route on the world-famous rock, mastered all the challenges of the 35-rope length course, which offered several difficult passages with the level of difficulty 5.13. Zangerl, an experienced climbing, praised Neumeier for her performance and noticed that she was very well cut off the first attempt. This challenge is also a big undertaking for experienced climbers, since the physical and mental stress is enormous, added GRiped.

Both successes not only underline the ability of the two athletes, but also the increasing influence of the German climbing scene on international terrain. Lara Neumeier sets new standards with her latest achievements and is definitely a climbing that could celebrate further success in the future.
