Bockmattli, large Bockmattli tower

The Bockmatli offers grippy limestone and a unique climbing experience not far from Zurich. Well frequented at the weekend, it is usually incredibly quiet during the week. The planned route "namenlose Kante" is in the middle 5 degree of difficulty and is incredibly fun. Nine pitches of grippy rock with a unique view of Lake Zurich and the surrounding area.

This tour is an ideal preparation for the alpine touring season in terms of alpine climbing. For experienced climbers it is even possible without climbing fins.
