Description
The Traverse of the Gods starts on the far left side of the wall and traverses rightward to finish on Thrutch and Wiese. Attempts have been made to continue the traverse across the long low roof, but each subsequent climber has been thwarted...much like those who attemped the Eiger Nordwand before its eventual first ascent.
As it stands now, though, the long traverse offers quite a pump and topping out on Thrutch and Wiese becomes a challenge in its own right.
