Ben Bert's drawings on Zillertal RocTrip July 31, 2008
The illustrator Ben Bert was on Zillertal RocTrip to make some of the great drawings he's the only one to do. Let's have a look at his slideshow, who gives a good idea of the athmosphere of the RocTrip.
Ben Bert is the guy who provided the drawing of the event's poster. He has also worked on a comic strip at the X-Tone contest.

End of the RocTrip : let's go climbing in Zillertal ! July 28, 2008

Zillertal RocTrip is over: climbers went back home and the place has been tied up. But the crags and the boulders stay here.
To conclude the trip, Lynn Hill told on stage saturday night: the weather wasn't so nice during this week, but I had a lot of fun climbing here, and I will certainly come back to enjoy the place again
.
That's how we choose the locations for the RocTrip at Petzl: Zillertal is a gorgeous valley and a fantastic place for climbing, mountaineering, paragliding, biking... So let's enjoy it, go to Zillertal !

Today, several members of the Petzl team went bouldering in Zillergrund. The place is just above the parking, in a steepy forest. The vegetation is luxuriant : there are huge trees, the boulders are often mossy or covered by the roots.
Local climbers opened numerous problems there, and plenty are still to be explored and cleaned up. But the weather didn't even allowed the team to try the existing ones: no sooner were they warmed up than the rain started... At the beginning, the light drizzle let them try some dry roofs. But then the downpours made the holds humid and slippery.
That was the signal to beat the retreat to Mayrhofen, have a shower and get prepared for the final party...
Ewige Jagdründe : chilling out around the two towers July 26, 2008

Ewige Jagdründe is a place that has to be earned : you have to cross the fleshy river with water up to your knees, or to warm up on the tyrolean traverse.
But when you're in the place: a sunny meadow with fatty grass to chill out, and trees to hang your hammock on... Ewige is an invite to rest !
Mmmh ? Climbers ? Oh yeah, you're right, there are also climbers at Ewige, and they're climbing... Yesterday, Gérôme, Chris, Daila, Dany, Markus and many others were here. They worked on several 8-something routes, as usual ;-)
The place is also known as "the two towers". Yes, like in the Lords of Ring... But it's far more welcoming that Tolkien's place. Let's have a look at the pictures. And you can find some outstanding routes rated around 6, right next to the 8 ones.

The sun is back in Zillertal Valley and on the Petzl RocTrip. On thirsday morning, after 3 days of bad weather, we began to see hikers on the mountain paths, downhill bikers on the trails... and climbers on the rock !
The rock was dry until noon, the climbers were psyched. Especially Daniel Du Lac, who beated the french team on Zillergrund boulders, and the local climber Markus Bock, who did a 8b route for the cameras at Ewige Jagdgründe.
With the sun, plenty of new enthousisatic RocTrip guys arrived in the valley. Even more will come today and on saturday, for the week-end.
That's where the huge organisation is revealed : you want to go climbng on the boulders or routes spots ? Here are the bus shuttle. You wanna camp ? Let's set up your tent just behind the wooden village (RocTrip base camp). It wasn't designed for that ? Nevermind, we put up lavatories, we opened the football club locker rooms, and some hotels lend their showers for you.
Plenty of new boulders and new routes have been opened. A quick topo guide is provided. Paths to the climbing spots have been marked...
It looks like the whole Mayrhofen area has been "redesigned" to welcome the RocTrip. So let's come here for rock climbing !
