Lehn *****

Like Gimmelwald, Lehn is one of the main high end destination crags for the hardcore youth of the Bernese Oberland. Offering 128 high quality routes in the 6b+ - 9a range, the majority of these strenuous endurance climbs are characterized by slopers on unique sandstone. In 1990, Jurg von Kanel set a milestone for climbing in the Bernese Oberland with his route “Mission Miranda” (8c). In 2018, Mattias Konig accomplished the FA of Lehn’s last major problem: “Finit Infinity”. With a suggested grade of 9a, it makes it one of the hardest routes in Switzerland. The best time of the year to climb at Lehn is in the Spring and Fall. Cool overcast summer days can be nice, too. For the most part, Lehn does have quite a few routes protected from the rain. But after intense rainfall, expect to wait a few days for the rock to dry.

Tamino and Luiz rebolted "Klaminski" and added a new, independent start ("Klaminskis Comeback" ~7c). The original start vie "En Garde" can still be climbed.
