Description 

very popular amongst hikers, mountain bikers, and believe it or not... base jumpers! although i havent met too many people that speak about climbing in the region, there is much potential in the area
its located in the shadow of many snow capped peaks and glaciers, encluding the notorious Eiger, and the view of and from the valley below is absolutely astounding! there are dozens of water-falls gushing out from the overhanging cliffs you will have to see to believe. a bit unpositive about the summer months, but it tends to be a little bit more on the low key side of things durring the autum months
some of the rock is a bit shakey or loose, but if you have some immagination and a lust for adventure, it shouldnt prove to be too dangerous. even for the heights you can reach, the wind doesnt seem to pick up enough to oppose any serious threat

Getting There 

from Interlocken, take bus rout number 5 to Wilderswil, and then hop a train to Lauterbrunnen. there is one quite lovely trail that takes you above the falls to Muren, and another even further to Gimmelwald. if you want to climb near or past Muren, there is a gondola that takes you there, and another one to Gimmelwald. once youre in the Oberland, the choices of climbing, or any other outdoor sporting activity is yours

ps: there is a hostel in Lauterbrunnen if you are interested in staying there, so you dont have to ride the train every day from Interlocken
