Mayormente Escalada deportiva

Lat / Long: 47.117309, 8.986103

Resumen

A very big crag with two sectors. In Südwand you will find lots of (mostly) easy multi-pitch routes. In Überhänge there are hard and short sportclimbing routes.

descripción

Due to the south facing wall, it usually is too hot in summertime (maybe you'll get some shades in the Überhänge Sector) but sometimes you can even climb in winter.

Acceso

Follow the signs to the base of Südwand. To Überhänge you can either walk at the base of the Südwand to the right and there on a path marked white blue white around the corner (10 min from the backpack depot) or you follow the small road after Alpenbeizli Winteregg to the east and then after a few hundred meters you go up the crag over the steep gras slope

Alojamiento

You can camp at the parking (10.-€/sFr. per tent/campervan, 2.-€/sFr. per person, 1.- €/sFr. per child (8-16years)), parking costs 5.-€/sFr. per day (8:00-22:00)). (Prices from 2020) You should best be able to pay the exact amount you need in an envelope.

descripción

"Gäsi is reserved for hard-movers - below a 7a/b level you have no business on these rocks, as even the few easier routes are tough and require solid foot technique and a complete repertoire of movements. Since Gäsi is less frequented, there are mostly no traces of chalk on the routes, which makes onsight-climbing even more interesting, albeit more demanding."
