New boulder blocks in the Murg Valley opened up

For a long time the Murgtal has been a bouldering area for tough classics like Entlings (8c) or Burgundy known. Lately, many lighter boulders have been developed.

After countless light boulders were opened up in the Steibrächer sector in the last two years, the sector Capricorn was now on the cleaning plan of the crew of bouldern.ch, So far, one found here next to Arzak - Fred Nicole's 8c Kingline - predominantly problems in the upper 7th grade. Now beginners and casual boulderers can also have fun here. During the last cleaning campaign, there were over 25 problems in the 4th to 6th degree. All these lines will be recorded in the new topo over the Murgtal - which will be available from September.
