The Berglichopf SE wall has been rebolted. The old pitons and threads have been re-equipped with new bolts. A few bolts have been added making it feel better protected. The climb yields a classic start up chimneys and ends with some strenuous crack climbing. The second half gets more technical including some tricky overhangs. The very inviting crag at the base of the wall with very well protected routes as well can be perfect for wrapping up your day. The climb at Butzli is steep and spectacular. The coral colored limestone can feel razor sharp in places but otherwise is great. Thanks to the toll road, the area is quickly accessed. Another plus, the road is not closed in winter, so you can usually climb here until the onset of winter.

Routes No. 7 to 17 (extrem OST) protection only three bolts and beauty max. 3 stars (partly quite fragile). Route No. 4 urgently needs a 50 m double rope for the last abseil above the roof. According to the guidebook, a 70 m rope is enough and this brings the abseiler ev. in serious trouble (15 m too short!).
