Medji

Valais East, SWITZERLAND

Climbs 30 – Rocktype UNKNOWN – Altitude 1521m a.s.l – Faces E

Crag features
Medji a unique crack paradise. While some love it, for most it's a nightmare.

The routes are about 20 routes up to 90 meters long and between 6 and 7b. They were set up by Raoul Bayard, Eric and Mike Burgener Pointner. The best time of year is in spring and autumn. Ideally you’ll want to take 60-meter half ropes; most routes are furnished with bolts. Nuts and friends are not absolutely necessary but a sensible addition depending on the route.

Awesome crag! Offers some of the best single pitch crack routes in Switzerland!!! To bad most cracks are bolted! But never mind! just skip the bolts and place a few good camelots. You'll also find good 2-4 pitch climbs. A 70m singe rope is useful.

Advice Note: In the bands are loose stones be careful when puling ropes through.

There is a route book at the foot of the wall with the latest Topo.
