Topo of the MSL tour Cassiopeia am Hundstein in the Alpstein

In the years 2013 and 2014 opened the two Eastern Swiss Fabio Lupo and Andreas Trunz Cassiopeia a multi-rope tour through the Hundsteinbäuche in the Alpstein. The following year, the two managed the first ascent. The topo of the first free climbing route on this impressive wall can be downloaded here.

The Cassiopeia route covers a total of 8 pitches and challenges repeaters with difficulty to 7b. The first pitch leads first through lighter and not too compact terrain, but concludes from the half with compact rock. From the second length to the end you climb in the very best alpine lime. Rappelled is directly over the route to the entrance.
