The routes here are never longer than 12m in length. These routes in gneiss-like featured limestone are very defined, bouldery, and unrelenting. In 1984, Alexander Ogi wrote climbing history when he put up “La Ned La Gah”, the first 8a in Switzerland. Ogi had adopted an amazingly rigorous training routine. Every morning before going to work, he would do laps on “Mars” (7a), with a pack full of rocks on his back! Then in 1987, Jurg von Kanel set a new milestone with his red point ascent of “Esel Gabriel” (8b+). It is a shady area ideal for summer sends.
