Description
Fantastic trad climbing adventure; a rarity in Switzerland! Anchors are bolted, and a handful of bolts are judiciously placed to keep the adventure safe. Mostly stemming and pulling on flakes, with little jamming, but still will require a solid set of trad skills.
P1 5b
60 m rope-stretcher, pretty easy even for the grade. Scramble up about 5-10 meters to a ledge marked with yellow paint (on the right). Follow the obvious seam with a bit of vegetation in it to an anchor near the dihedral
P2 6a+
50 m up a nice left-facing dihedral. Cross a bright green smear of lichen that gives the route the name (probably), with great opportunities for protection. 1 bolt.
P3 5c+
A bit of a wandering pitch, tending left at the start, cross a short slab section and hear toward the wide flake. Clip a bolt and move right around a corner onto a ledge. Cool finishing moves traversing right and up under a small roof. Belay on the big ledge.
P4 6c+
Business time. Scramble left, clip a bolt, and pull hard. Then up through a wide left-leaning flake. 2 #4’s recommended to make it safe, and a #5 makes it comfy. Clip a bolt at the end an pull hard again for the slab traverse left to the belay. The rock becomes superb from this pitch on.
P5 6b
Clip a bolt off the belay, then pull a nice face climbing move to the flake. Romp up the flake with excellent gear, then finish on a bolt-protected slab.
P6 5c
Cruise up a the long, easy finger crack, with some low-angle slab at the top.
