Right. Though I'd prefer the title "Pedestrial Ascent Consultant".
We'd need a safety commission to fix the norms for staircase belay anchors, a lobby in the Bundestag to continuously reduce the amount of steps that is minimum for a mandatory belay and to raise qualification for the PACs. I bet the gear manufacturers will be happy to support it. And I'll finally be the president of the Association of Pedestrial Ascent Consultants and Descent Guides. 
Sounds good to me...
- Daniel

You did go to the province where it rains a full 200 days a year on the west there 
But when the sun shines, boy is it a pretty place. And all that precipitation is snow come winter. Yay winter paradise.

sometimes the best cracks are high up or long and continous. but how can you now? better stay in your two-dimensional world.

Hey folks!
Spent a little time to update the regional description of the Northern Frankenjure (here). I'm not an expert on the area, so is there something I got wrong, misspelled, forgot, should mention?
Otherwise... just have a nice one!
