Climbing Tour | Trotzig and Wichelplangg Sticks
Fantastic ridge climbing in the Sustli area!
Technics
Endurance
The high peaks are still covered in snow, but summer is slowly arriving on the sunny ridges. We have planned a spontaneous tour in the Uri Alps for all those who fancy some airy scrambling, impressive views and a varied ridge crossing. The crossing of Trotzigplanggstock and Wichelplanggstock offers everything that makes for an enjoyable scrambling tour: secluded mountain scenery, varied terrain and repeated short climbing sections on solid rock. We usually walk directly on the ridge and enjoy the view of the glacier world around the Susten Pass and the surrounding peaks of the Uri Alps. The route requires surefootedness, a head for heights and enjoyment of moving in alpine terrain. Technically, the tour is mostly easy, but the airy route makes for a real mountain experience.
Procedure and meeting place
We’ll meet at the Sustenbrüggli car park. Depending on how participants are travelling, there’s the option of carpooling.
From the Sustenpass, we first ascend via the Leiterliweg to the Sustlihütte. We continue along mountain paths and boulder terrain towards Trotzigplanggstock (approx. 2 hours ascent). The traverse includes around 23 pitches at difficulty level 4c+ (up to 650 metres of climbing). First we climb the south ridge of the Trotzigplanggstock, followed by the ridge climb to the Wichelplanggstock. After the first summit, the actual crossing begins. We move steadily towards Wichelplanggstock via varied ridge passages, short scrambling sections and easy climbing. On the way, we enjoy the impressive view of the glaciers around the Susten Pass and the surrounding peaks of Uri. After the second summit, we descend with abseils back to the starting point.
We finish the tour together at Sustenbrüggli.
