Comments: Longer climb, more like 90'. Bit of a two-move-wonder with about 50' of 11- post-crux climbing with some decent rests.

10 or 11 draws, chain anchor.

Comments: I never said that I don't think this belongs on MP.com. I was calling attention to the original description, which cautioned people to "stay low-key", which implies that the legality of climbing in this area is questionable, at best. As the description has been changed, this is no longer an issue.

Comments: According to this pic, Pss Pss had not seen a FA as of Mar '07. Did anyone send it before spring '09?

Comments: There is a toll for the road from Stöckalp, and it's 12 Franken. IMO, if you're going to Swizzyland for single pitch climbing, you're nuts!

Comments: Props to this dude for still smiling. I'd probably be crying, if I hadn't already exploded.

Comments: Piece of advice: if you're trying to make it seem like you're only posting this information for "historical purposes," you need to avoid incriminating yourself with lines such as "This route is somewhat secluded and ideal for night-time ascents, just be stealthy."

Have a look at the Navajolands area.

Comments: Wouldn't staying low-key mean not posting this info on the internet?

Comments: The first bolt is about 15' off the ground. If you are comfortable leading 5.8, there's no need to worry about getting up to it.

Comments: From my partners' experiences and my own, from L to R it seems to be: Morbius, Robby, P Android, H Blues, J on the S, Procrastination Proclamation, Shit'n Cactus, I am the Eggplant, Pss Pss.

Comments: The FA rates this climb as 10+, but it feels like 11- to me. Although it isn't as sustained as Robby the Robot, the crux moves seem to be the same difficulty. Would be nice to have others' opinions as to whether it's 10+ or 11-.

Comments: I'll be in Frankfurt from mid-June to mid-August and am looking for climbing partners. I've been climbing for 6 years and lead up to 7b+. I would like to send something harder this summer. My schedule will be flexible, so I can climb almost any day. If you or anyone you know would not mind me coming along, please let me know!

Comments: A couple long moves and just enough pump factor to make it 12-.

I agree, this seems to be 2 routes Right of Robby.

Comments: This route seems to be just right of Robby the Robot. One move wonder to 5.7ish climbing. Unfortunately, the 5.7 climbing makes up half the route. There are better routes on which to expend your energy.

Comments: Really fun route! Felt like solid 5.12. Should be called 'Turn Your Head and Cough'.

Strange bolting. If your draws are pre-hung, clipping bolt 4 is unnecessary.

05/09: Anchor = 1 coldshut with carabiner @ 1 open cold-shut.

Comments: Somewhat over-bolted. Only one 10c/d move. Good warm-up.

Edit: I think this route is closer to 70'.

Comments: Sounds to me like this problem is on that one rock near the trail. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
