Tannenfluh main crag
Tannenfluh consists of two distinct parts. A crag on the hillside and a crag dug into the hillside. The first has a few separate buttresses with some nice mid grade routes. The second, called Get Wet Canyon, is an interesting place to visit, can take a long time to dry, but can be cool even in the hottest of summers. Some of the routes in the canyon are very good, a few though are quite dirty.
The main Tannenfluh crag is a pleasant series of buttresses with some nice mid grade routes.
Follow the road from Dornach turning right up the steep hill that goes towards Hochwald. The crag is to the left on the last straight stretch of road. For Get Wet Canyon, park at the bottom of this straight stretch just after a right hand bend, on a track by a water trough. There is a single track that leads from the water trough up the hill to the canyon. About 5 minutes. For the other sunnier buttresses, continue up the hill and park at the top where a track crosses the road, and there is a large cross. Take the track on the left hand side of the road (coming from Dornach) and follow this for about 5 minutes to a picnic spot at the top of the crag. Climb down a couloir to reach Big Boss Buttress. For Big November continue right (looking in) along the bottom of the crag for 50m. The routes to the left of Isili buttress are difficult to find but reached by continuing left under the crag.
