Ascensiones en Appenzeller Alpen

Hold broke and generally wet.

Abwechslungsreiche Tour in genialem überwiegend steilem Fels. Leider der Fuss weggerutsch in der 1.SL

Really nice multi pitch. The 5c+ pitch was definitely the hardest and steepest 5c+ I've climbed so far. The 6c+, on the other hand, fits the grade, and if you can jam, it will probably feel easy. I had passed the hardest part but my right hand was above an unclipped bolt and I didn't dare put my feet up anymore in the onsight attempt. I clipped the bolt on my second attempt from an excellent fist jam.

There is also a first 5b pitch from "Gummi" to the anchor of the 6c.

1. Really hard for 6c (felt more like 7a/a+), especially after the long approach and sore legs . Lots of bad footholds and handholds which require a good technique. But it's well protected

2. Sketchy traverse to the first bolt and stays hard until the second. Then easier but many loose rocks at the second half.

3. At last some nice and easy climbing to the top where everything is solid

Don't underestimate the decent. It's easy but potentially dangerous, especially if you aren't alone because of rockfall.

6c was quite tough on the legs and calves especially with the backpack

Gefühlt nehmen die Schwierigkeiten nach oben hin zu.. Sind die Grade in der richtigen Reihenfolge?

An amazing climb. Every pitch was nice (although I did not like the last length at all in 6b - but maybe due to my fingers being very painful from the excellent grippy rock!). The traverse (5th pitch 25m) is very technical and enjoyable - there is very little handhold and this leads to funny and tricky balancing on the feet.

Overall well equipped (bolts 4 to 5/6 metres apart - all bolts and belay/rappel station in very good shape). Felt safe for all pitches except: -One fairly long run-out on first pitch (6a) for something like 7/8 metres. Going on the right side for this as there are good holds. - One fairly long run-out on pitch 6 (6/7m) between 1st and to second bolt after belay station.

Grades: -the two 5c+ felt easy. The 5c (pitch) felt harder than those two. Not sure if due to tiredness or this 5c is more like a 6a? My alternate grading would be (any views?): 6a 5c 5c+ 6a+ 6a 6b/6b+

Copied the grades from our guide book. The route is really well protected now, cams or nuts are not necessary. We replaced pitch 9 (5b) with pitch 6 (6a+) of Allerheiligen and pitch 12 (4c) with pitch 8 (6b+) of Patriot. The bolts in these two pitches were considerably less frequent.

Great route with awesome views Easy access from the north side if you bring 13 CHF in coins or you have internet and the parking app (15€).
