Description
Nice, sunny, south-facing crag that is wonderful for families or those looking for an easier, single-pitch sport climbing area. Perched right above the Steingletscher hotel, the views of the area are stunning while the climbing is interesting and varied.
A 15 minute, relatively easy approach makes the whole thing an enjoyable outing!
Climbs range from 3b - 6b+, with most in 4, 5, and 6.

Getting There
Park at the lot above the hairpin turn just before/after Hotel Steingletscher (before if coming from Wassen, after if coming from Innertkirchen). Coords are 46.73300, 8.41310).
Cross the road, and head to the left end of the stone wall. You'll come to two trails, follow the one uphill. Keep going uphill and right (back to the valley) for ~15 minutes until you get to a well bolted climbing area on your left.
