Climbing the Eulengrat

The weather was good yesterday and we figured that Saturday's sun would have dried things out a bit, so we decided on a multipitch in the Jura: the Eulengrat.

The approach from Oberdorf is easy, with a giant cairn marking the turnoff from the main trail and a sign to point the way once you've gone up a bit. We had feared crowds, but when we arrived there was no one else around. At the top of the second pitch we saw a guy out by himself and towards the end we saw another group behind us and heard some others, but we were otherwise alone.

The pitches: 5a, 4c, 3c, 5a, 5b, 2a (traverse), 4b, 5a, 3b, 4b

Really nice climbing, mostly good rock quality, though somewhat polished in places (of course). A very nice day out.
