Ostpfeilerkante

The ascent of the 'Ostpfeilerkante' (East Pillar Edge) in the majestic Tennen Mountains, graded 5+, is a truly memorable alpine rock climbing experience. This multi-pitch route offers sensational exposure and breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding limestone peaks. The rock quality is generally excellent, though one must always be mindful of the typical alpine environment. Each pitch presents engaging climbing, leading to a profound sense of accomplishment upon reaching the summit. The descent, often a significant undertaking in itself, requires careful navigation, typically involving a combination of rappelling and a long walk back to the valley, concluding an unforgettable day in a wild and rugged landscape.
