Description Suggest change

This route is, for Schöllenen standards, uncharacteristically lacking in friction slabs.

The line is wonderfully homogeneous and entertaining throughout. Highlight of the route is hands down (or in, as it were) the splitter 40 meter crack it follows in pitch two.

P1: 5b
P2: 5c+
P3: 5b+
P4: 6a
P5/P6: ~5c/6a *
P7/P8: ~6b *

Topo we had was prior to refurbishing, and included only the first four pitches. Routefinding is straightforward, however.

Location Suggest change

Facing the cliffs, this is the very last route on the left, some distance from the most well known and popular routes. Just look for the signature crack in pitch two. It shares belays on numerous occasions with Cyclope, a beastly slab affair to the right, so when in doubt always stay on the route to the left. Descent is by abseil down the route.

Protection Suggest change

The route is bolted, but a small assortment of cams (covering the whole range) was nice to have along.
