Simplon Dorf
A small but very worthwhile crag close to Simplon Dorf. It is an excellent summer venue being located at 1500m, and in the shade in the afternoon. The climbing is steep, on holds that vary from large jugs to small crimps. Good endurance helps. Bolting is excellent, the approach is short.
