My climbing/bee keeping husband is in the battle for his life. Metastatic lung cancer is ravaging his body.

Tehran's background :D

First ascent of Sympathy for the Devil.

This is the longest of the sport routes in this little crag. Probably also the most fun. We rated it at 5.7ish depending on which side of the bolts you were on. We are very open to being corrected on this point.

Manu in "Lutzverschneidung". The route is only rated 5.10a, but it's a real pumpy beast. Speed is the most effective weapon to fight it. Placing a lot of gear from the layback position can easily throw you out, even if you onsight much higher grades normaly.

Big moves :)

A new route in the kid goat descent gully. On the extreme southern tip of nanny goat.

The route Ace of Spade follows the south pilar and you have a magnificant view of the lake of Geneva from there. The rocks is stable enough but you must wear a helmet. I would not recommend to walk to the top as the grass is very slippery,but to rappel down.
