Lausbubenverschneidung

The 'Lausbubenverschneidung' (roughly translated as 'Rascal's Chimney Dihedral') on the Obere Lausbubenwand (Upper Rascal Wall) is a classic climb offering sustained enjoyment for climbers operating in the 4+ grade range. This route is characterized by its prominent dihedral feature, which presents a mix of stemming, jamming, and face climbing techniques. The rock is generally solid, though some loose sections can be encountered, demanding careful footwork and route finding.

Starting with a short scramble to the base, the first pitch often tackles the initial section of the dihedral directly. This pitch sets the tone for the route – a blend of physical moves and technical placements. Subsequent pitches follow the line of the dihedral, offering moments of respite on ledges, interspersed with engaging climbing through corners and overlaps. Gear placements are generally good, allowing for confident protection. The exposure increases as you ascend, providing rewarding views of the surrounding landscape.

Overall, climbing the 'Lausbubenverschneidung' is a highly rewarding experience. Its sustained difficulty, combined with the interesting features and solid rock (mostly!), makes it a popular choice for climbers looking for a challenging yet accessible adventure in the Obere Lausbubenwand. Remember to be mindful of potential loose rock and to enjoy the views!
