New climbing routes at the Grimsel Handegg

In the years 2017 / 2018 two new multi-pitch tours were created left of the Fair Hands line at the Grimsel Handegg. The routes Silvan Schüpbach has set up with the support of other people from his environment.

The Bernese Oberland is richer by two Trad multi-pitch rides. If you want to climb in a sea of ​​granite, you will find two new routes at the Grimsel Handegg. The stalls of the two routes are equipped with stainless steel drills for abseiling. Most of the routes themselves must be secured. Details can be found in the following topo by Silvan Schüpbach.

Silvan Schüpbach describes the new lines as follows:

“While looking for clean routes, I came across this small sector to the left of the Fair Hands Line. Many beautiful cracks offer space for wedges and friends. The wall stays in the shade until about 14:00 p.m. and is therefore a pleasant place even in summer. With the Cool Foot Line I still had to use a few bolts as an intermediate backup, especially in the upper part. The stands are set up for abseiling. At the end you come to the Fair Hands Line booth. Actually, I wanted to continue on the route, but the risk is too great that climbers of the Fair Hands Line will get into this route. So if you want to continue climbing, you can get out of the Fair Hands. "
