Ethic inherited from Alpstein

Sport climbs are very well protected but the historic multi pitch routes are sometime strange bolted and you have to take long run outs. Generally it is a good advice to bring some gear to improve protection where necessary.

New routes should be discussed with local authorities and the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) before hand. Especially if routes may distract animals and destroy vegetation.

Great and the longest route in the Alpstein. The route is well protected but Alpstein like there are not too many bolts. Therefore it is wise to bring some friends, nuts and slings. Climbing duration 9-10 hours.

The pdf-topo can be slightly misleading: You cannot escape after pitch 21 onto the hiking trail, you have to summit via the 100m grade 2 (with a bolted anchor about half way).

Topo and description in German.

If you want an early start you can sleep at the Fählenalp, which is 2min walk from the start of the climb.
