Motörhead
Motörhead is one of the great classics of alpine trad climbing - and quite rightly so: in the impressive granite slabs of the Eldorado, one aesthetic pitch follows the next, interspersed with cracks, intersections and piazza sections that promise plenty of climbing fun.
What makes Motörhead so special is not only the consistently beautiful climbing, but also its history: the route was opened by the Rémy brothers in 1981 and is now one of the first truly clean multi-pitch routes in Switzerland – a milestone in the development of trad climbing. Anyone climbing here can feel the spirit of the Alpine pioneering era and experience climbing in its most original form – reduced to the essentials, demanding, honest. Our tour begins with the approach along the Lauteraarhüttenweg trail, past glacial polish and Alpine lakes, until we reach the start of the climb beneath the striking dihedral. We want to start early, because 14 pitches of the finest granite climbing await us, always accompanied by views of the wild high mountain landscape of the Grimsel area. The key sections in the upper sixth grade are challenging but not overwhelming – ideal for more experienced climbers who love a challenge and variety.
Motörhead is not just a route - it is a kind of accolade for all those who love alpine trad classics. A route that inspires, challenges and rewards. An experience that stays with you.

On the first day, we will take time to get to know each other and familiarise ourselves with the Grimsel slabs. Depending on our needs, we will repeat multi-pitch techniques and climb a fantastic multi-pitch route.
In the evening we enjoy a delicious dinner at the inn and plan the next day together, the classic in the Eldorado!
We set off early and tackle the approach along the lake. After about 1.5-2 hours, we reach the start and the fun can begin! Fourteen pitches of beautiful granite await us, always with a view of Lake Grimsel and the surrounding breathtaking landscape. Once at the top, we refuel and enjoy the view before tackling the descent on foot, which requires a bit of concentration until we reach the hiking trail again and can walk back the same way to the car.
We conclude the day together with a delicious drink and reflect on the day's events.
