Knife edge ridges, grippy cracks, and smooth slabs: The Salbit! Three ridges lead to the summit needle. The most difficult is the West Ridge, which is often high on every aspiring alpine climber’s wish list. The Plaisir classic is and always has been, the wonderful South Ridge. The easiest way to the Salbit Needle for the obgligatory summit photo, is via the alpine East Ridge. Besides the famous ridge climbs, numerous routes are sprinkled over the South Face. Exciting slab, crack, and dihedral climbs abound! The Salbit Hut is the ideal base camp for your climbing vacation: a nice crew, clean rooms, and great cuisine from the kitchen. You may want to extend your stay in this beautiful world of granite.

At the Zwillingsturm, the classic "Jimmy", "Villiger" and "Clog and Stock" shine in new splendor. At the 1st Westgrat tower, the "Geier Route" was completely rebolted and cleaned, and at tower 2, the "Hammerbruch" and "KGB".

Already in 2015 Spiri has rehabilitated the "Grob Ernstli". This is now no longer so serious, but still rough!
