The fourth open German championship in industrial climbing was once again held in the heart of the scene, in Berlin. On August 2 at 9am, the "Tank Building" of Prenzlauer Berg's "Culture Brewery" was transformed into a climbers' temple. Where rock and pop concerts normally raise the roof, the 19 cup participants from four countries tightened their climbing belts and climbed the walls to prove their skills.
