And now for something completely different
.
Is it silly? Perhaps. Is it nevertheless worth doing? Definitely. The exposure on this sheer, concave wall is incredible. Following the plastic is a straightforward yet, particularly in the final two overhanging pitches, awesome experience.
The route is 165 meters in length, with five pitches. You have to pay a small fee for the pleasure, which you do at the little restaurant at the top of the dam. That is also where you can get a key that unlocks a ladder youll need to access the route (which begins a good distance off the ground).
The dam is at around 1400 meters above sea level, and is west-facing.
When you get to the top (final belay is the railing that runs across the top of the dam), you walk back across the damn to the restaurant, and back down the road to the carpark at the base of the dam.
More information and topos can be found in the Schweiz plaisir-sud or the SAC Ticino guidebook.

It seems that a previous comment in November, 2016 indicated the road was closed. Not sure if it is because of the avalanche or not. Not sure when this thing will be fixed. From the looks of it, they aren't really close to done. Jun 21, 2017
