Die Ponderosa wurde 2003 von Jörg Zeidelhack und Mike Sauter erschlossen. Erstbegangen wurde der Block, der ursprünglich „Loreleyblock“ hieß, aber bereits vor 1931. 🤓 Jörg Perwitzschky hat den Block 2023 saniert und in Rücksprache mit der IG Klettern weitere Linien, sowie Haken ergänzt. Insgesamt warten jetzt 24 Routen zwischen 6 und 9- auf euch.

Known for decades as "Loreleyblock" and hardly ever visited, this crag was reimagined as "Ponderosa" at the beginning of the 21st century.
