In October last year I’ve been to the Oker Valley to the south of Hannover where I’ve done the FA of a nice Fb 8A boulder problem called Daruma. On 15th of February I re-visited the area with the local Falco Bartus who now published the nice little video above featuring Daruma and some other classics. Thank You Falco! I like it very much.

In the Oker Valley there is still some potential for several FA’s in the Fb 7th range and maybe a few Fb 8th grades. Hopefully I can join the Northern German Rock Climbing Team (Norddeutscher Felskader) who is going to visit the area in March to open new lines again. The Oker Valley is a beautiful bouldering area on brown and coarse granite in the Harz National Park close to the town of Goslar in Northern Germany. More climbers are welcome!
