8.25 Erstfeld Banhof
Crossing Ruederstock | Sewen
Great climbing and ambience on a lonely traverse.
Technics
Endurance
On the solitary crossing of the Rüderstock, we enjoy the magnificent cliffs of the Sewen region. In a great scramble, we first climb the stem and then the ridge to the summit. The scramble through the stem is in the 3rd degree of difficulty and varied, sometimes with a small crack, sometimes with a small grip and sometimes over a small belly. The stem is about 3 pitches long and then continues along the ridge to the summit. The ridge is nice and airy, but has a good grip and is stepped. Typical mountaineering terrain. On the summit we enjoy the view of the Uri mountains and the solitary mountain experience. The descent is by abseiling back to the hiking trail. If you have little or no experience of abseiling, this is not a problem. The mountain guide can also let you off and instruct you. A great round tour with everything you need for mountaineering.
Procedure and meeting place
We meet at 8.25 am at Erstfeld Banhof, then continue by car to Gorezmettlen on the Susten Pass.
The approach leads along a comfortable hiking trail past the hut to the start of the ridge.
The traverse starts with 3 pitches on the 3rd difficulty ridge. This is followed by an easier section before the route continues over an airy ridge to the summit. Here we enjoy the lonely mountain world before we abseil 3 times and hike back to the hut.
On the descent we pass the Sewenhütte again, where we drink a toast to the tour together before we go all the way down again.
