Perhaps one could call these sunny slabs above Kandersteg the very birthplace of Plaisir climbing. It was here in the 1970s that well protected multipitch routes were first developed and climbed. Top climbers also have lots to do in Ueschenen. Besides compelling and challenging slab routes, spectacular roof climbs like on Filidor Pfeiler on the finest limestone are also available. New routes are being put up even to this day. The best climbing days are often in the fall when the surrounding mountain tops already have a skiff of snow contrasting beautifully with the fall colors. Add the sun warmed rock and it is magic!

Julian Zaccaron has continued working in the sector "RAK":
All routes with a star are now complete. Most of the routes are marked.
Holes of Glory now has its own start, from the mini roof (on 2/3 of the route) quite vertically down the thin yellow strip. In the 7c/7c+ area
Energy Crisis is finished 7b+ (between Nikita and Holes of Glory). The route goes a little further left at the top than in the topo extreme west, just into the yellow, and then right to the belaystation of Holes of Glory (long slings otherwise rope pull!).
Next to Myself is only 7a+
Rush is probably more of a 7a for small climbers
In Up and Down a hold has broken off, now much more difficult if you want to climb it directly. With a short right turn in Nikita still easy to climb and still in the 7c range.
The route to the right of Agrius C. is finished! It is called Arctia caja; suggestion 7c (rather bouldery). The route moves a little less to the right after the junction than in the topo extreme west.

Hans Grossen has rebolted with friends the routes "Transit" (6c+, 30 m), "Tabu" (6c+, 28 m; new with direct start) and "Goldschuh" (first pitch 6c, 28 m; second pitch 6c, 25 m). Material: 70m rope, 14 express. The 3 routes run to the left of "Pschüttigütti" in excellent rock. The beginnings are marked.
