08:00, Wildhaus
Scrambling route: Crossing the Kreuzberge, grades VII to V
Impressive and excellent ridge climbing over three Kreuzberge mountains high above the Rhine Valley.
Technics
Endurance
The eight Kreuzberge are imposing limestone towers towering high above the Rhine Valley. Much of alpine history was made here! We’ll tackle the traverse starting from the saddle between Kreuzberg VIII and VII, beginning with the west ridge up to our first Kreuzberg. After two abseils, we’ll reach the next saddle and from there ascend Kreuzberg VI. The descent takes us on a spectacular route over the “Daumen” to the Felsenfenster. The surroundings here are simply brilliant! If there’s enough time left, we’ll tackle the next tower as well. Once again, with excellent ridge climbing on top-quality rock, we head up and, after a few abseils, reach the next saddle. A truly impressive route, consistently through adventurous terrain! We make the approach easier by driving up to the Teselalp from Wildhaus and, from there, hiking 600hm to the start of the route.
Procedure and meeting place
We’ll meet in Wildhaus and drive from there to the Teselalp in the mountain guide’s car, which is authorised to drive on mountain roads. If there are enough e-bikes, we’ll cycle up to the alp on them.
The traverse is an impressive route. It involves a few pitches of alpine climbing up to one of the Kreuzberge, before abseiling down the other side. The climbing is Grade 3. One section is graded 4a, but this can easily be made easier with the aid of slings.
After the tour, we’ll head back up to the alp and drive back to Wildhaus.
