Comments: I need to get back to Zervreilahorn -- this and Nanouk now both sound excellent. Nice write-up.

Comments: We started too far left, ended up doing a short but harder start pitch, then traversed right to the actual start. Look for the fixed rope!
Descent now also possible from the E face. Keep going from the finish up to the summit ridge, and look for a large cairn with flags on it. Look back, and you should see "50 m -->" painted in red, pointing to the abseilpiste. 4x 50 or 3x 60 gets you down to a snow field, easy scramble and sliding down to the glacier.
Also, from the Galengrat fin... more >>

Comments: Direct start (5.8+ in grey dick) doesn't protect as well as doublissima start, but keeps the rope drag down.
Also, in the route sorting this should be left (above) Directississima.

Comments: Possible to TR after leading up to the ledge (e.g. by Feast of Fools) with a 70m rope. Take some webbing for a long anchor off of the big tree.
Bonus: massive airtime on each miss...
Also no reason not to go for the lead, with fixed gear in place at (for me) both crux moves.

Comments: Fun cragging in town. However, in February we were chased away by the gendamerie because of avalanche danger! Apparently the cliff is in a prime spot to get dumped on, when the conditions are right.

Comments: Can link P5 + 6 for a longer, funner finish. Definitely have some rope drag, but the 10m extra are quite different character and I think really worth it. 50m ropes ok.

Comments: Hey all --
Sorry about the confusion. I've fixed the name and route location. I only climbed at Bolton once, and was writing the description just from memory. If I'm describing the wrong route, please let me know!
I'm happy to let someone else add more details here as well.

Comments: Toll is 7 chf to drive up and park at Melchsee-Frutt, but we couldn't find out how to pay it... camping is possible at several sites on the drive up.
Sure, don't come to Switzerland for the single-pitch climbing, but it sure is fun if you're already here!
Note the grades on the route name placards are UIAA/German, which takes some mental gymnastics...

Comments: I got to the stance at the end of P1 (according to Grey Dick), and like lucander decided there was no way to build a solid belay there. Went up right around short corner, then back left towards blunt arete. Lots of possible paths on the face, just keep moving up to the top.

Comments: Do p2 -- following Grey Dick, it crosses left, over p1 of the winter. Use the second fixed gear anchor above p1 of the winter (not the one normally used for tr'ing the winter).
A wicked fun roof problem awaits at the top, 10b and more like pg-13. Save a .5 C4 for the crux.
