Exceeding the lion's teeth
Alpine climbing tour in the Rhine Valley - over three towers with magnificent views and great climbing sections!
Crossing the Löwenzähne is a great alpine climbing tour! Three limestone towers rise imposingly out of the forest and it is precisely these that we cross. The tour first leads over the south-west ridge to the Kleine Löwenzahn. There are some beautiful 3rd and 4th degree climbing sections here. We continue over the ridge to the middle tooth and with a short abseil and a straddle step onto the ridge to the large dandelion. The last part offers great rock again and is well graded. The terrain is very grippy and thanks to the support of the mountain guide you can experience a great tour. Difficult sections can be defused in case of doubt. Thanks to the road, the ascent can be completed comfortably in approx. 1 hour. The descent is made in two abseiling passages back to the path and on to the car park. Depending on your mood, you can tackle one or two routes in one of the climbing gardens after the crossing. A perfect tour in this autumn weather!
