Past the fishery, follow the western bank of the Mundbach up to the climbing area (about 3 minutes), which is located below the BLS railway line.
Even if it looks tempting in movies: rock climbing in nature is not for beginners. Besides suitable equipment and strength, it requires solid training and practice in safety techniques. Because properly secured climbers rarely experience serious accidents.
The 5 most important tips:
- Learn safety techniques and never let go of the brake rope when belaying
- Question the belaying behavior of your rope partners and point out mistakes
- Do a partner check – especially pay attention to knots
- Agree on commands and signals beforehand
- Wear a helmet, remove finger rings
In addition to the usual climbing equipment
- 50m single rope
- 8 quickdraws
