Switzerland - Grimsel Pass

Bugeleisen lies opposite the power station on Grimsel pass, an isolated buttress with excellent slab climbing. The routes are fully bolted, although the long run outs might encourage you to take some friends and wires, not that you will find anywhere to place them! 

An excellent 350m slab of granite , offering some fine routes. The routes are bolted, with good anchors on all the belays, however a few friends and wires are necessary on most routes. Although the cliff has a generally "friendly" ambience, the routes are nevertheless long alpine undertakings. On sunny weekends the crag can get busy and although the rock is mostly solid on the routes, there are still some loose stones on the ledges. Descent by abseil is the easiest way down, but can be dangerous for other parties, so the walk round, although steep and alpine is recommended.
