Route
Bruderliebe was first ascended in summer 2011 by Hansjörg Auer together with his brother Vitus. Hansjörg described the route as follows: "Bruderliebe is 19 pitches long with difficulties up to 8b/8b+. I established it ground-up this summer together with my brother during a fantastic 8 day period. The route takes a line up the Ombretta, on the right-hand side of the Elephant's back, just to the right of '40 anni per il Falier'. It crosses 'Verena Vinus' on the belay after pitch four, and crosses 40 anni on the belay after pitch 6. The major difficulties are in the lower section where the rock is fantastic and after a couple of pitches up to 7c it culminates with the 50m crux pitch. The difficulties then ease off considerably and on the upper section the rock quality is no longer as outstanding."
