The difficult friction climbing may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But the run outs can forge a good lead head. For those who dare, you will find high quality Goschener granite.

High end climbers find fitting challenges with the granite classics “Black Jack - Jack Daniels”. Five pitches of steep face climbing up to 7c+ in perfect rock.

The rebolting took place in the context of an advanced training course for youth leaders of the JDAV Baden-Württemberg under the direction of Fynn Renner from Constance. Unfortunately, the new routes were hardly cleaned. This limits the fun of climbing...
