SALBITSCHIJEN-WEST-RIDGE-SWITZERLAND
Salbitschijen western ridge: it's 1000m of perfect climbing!
this western ridge of the salbitschijen is a big notch above the classic southern ridge, both in terms of difficulties, and length
it takes 10 to 12 hours of climbing for an experienced climber and a well-honed rope to reach the top
incredible granite, the crack and the slab galore, a hint of commitment. it's a race to do in his life as a mountaineer!
plan 3 days, we start from salbithütte with headlamp and try to be back for dinner ...
this hut is also a good spot to stay a few days and climb other major roads nearby.
